I often use Brainspotting & IFS in my practice. Starting from the first session, I like to dive deep into what has been taking up space in your head lately so we can make sure you get some tools and relief by the first session. During treatment, we will explore what's causing your symptoms at the root so you can start living your life as your best self without the hurt that may be blocking it.
