I'm Katrina
I use a combination of brainspotting, mindfulness and somatic work to help you navigate the ups and downs of life and find your path. Brainspotting became my primary modality because it is an effective way of healing a wide range of challenging issues. It gets where talk therapy cannot, it addresses the body, heals and balances the nervous system, releases tension and stress, repairs negative cycles of behavior, boosts self-awareness, and empowers my clients to live a better life.
When something traumatic or deeply distressing happens, the emotional memory from that event becomes stored or trapped, showing up in your body. Often, you are not consciously aware that it has occurred, but your brain and how it responds is altered as a result. It can cause problems on all levels – emotionally, mentally and physically. Brainspotting is designed to reveal, process and ultimately release that trapped energy so that it no longer causes problems in your life.
I have 15 years of experience training and working as a neuro-rehabilitation psychologist in hospitals with individuals suffering from neurological and major physical trauma caused by biological and external causes. While I worked extensively with concussions, head injuries, dementias and other neurological disorders, I also felt frustrated and limited by the ineffectiveness of talk based therapies to heal many forms of trauma. When I discovered Brainspotting, it allowed me to heal on a level that I didn't realize was possible. I saw clients' nervous systems relax, repetitive thoughts let go, improvements in sleep, and less pain complaints. Brainspotting connects you to the wisdom that resides within you, you are not being told what to do, but reconnecting with what you already know to be true.
Brainspotting is a therapy based on neurobiological wisdom and mindfulness with profound psychological benefits. It helps desensitize and reprocess distressing events and feelings.
