Axis points are something you will hear me mention many times in my brainspotting videos, as they are vital to finding the perfect "spot" for trauma processing. As you will learn there are a few different types of axis points including X axis (horizontal), Y axis (vertical), and Z axis (closer or further). Using a combination of two or all of these really helps to narrow in the precise spot in one's visual field for processing.

In therapy I use a combination of empirically validated and researched techniques for the treatment of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and treatment of eating disorders. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources and are used in my own practice with my clients. Many of these techniques come from the founder of Brainspotting, David Grand, and from the work of EMDR creator and founder, Francine Shapiro. I am also Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) certified, and have an additional certification in Fitness and Nutrition Coaching from National Exercise Sports Training Association.
