I provide individual therapy for adults navigating overwhelm and trauma. I have spent my career working with people who have directly experienced multiple forms of trauma and with professionals exposed to trauma in their work. My expertise comes with a strong understanding of neurobiology and helps clients understand the underpinnings of what they are experiencing. I am PSI trained in perinatal mental health and am moving towards specialization with people trying to conceive or build their families, experiencing loss or birth trauma, and adjusting to new parenthood. I am certified in Brainspotting (an offshoot of EMDR).

All feelings are valid feelings, how we deal with those feelings is what matters. Throughout the therapeutic process, we will focus and build upon on your strengths, experiences, relationships, and habits to create a meaningful life, beneficial habits, and discover your true self. My vision statement for my practice is to create a trust-based relationship, where the client feels heard, accepted, and validated. While there are few guarantees in therapy, I can guarantee my clients I will be present in their sessions, provide competent services, individualize treatment, and provide transparency.

Biofeedback Therapists
Can biofeedback help with anxiety?
Biofeedback is often used to treat anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Anecdotal evidence and some research studies have found that it can improve symptoms of these disorders, sometimes significantly; however, studies on biofeedback have typically been small and researchers have cautioned that many have significant limitations, such as limited follow-up or a lack of a control group.
Is biofeedback evidence-based?
There is some evidence that biofeedback can effectively treat certain conditions; for example, its efficacy in treating headaches and urinary incontinence is generally thought to be well-established. There is also promising, but less conclusive, evidence that it can aid in stroke recovery or help someone manage a mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
What is the difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that measures brain activity specifically; it is typically used to treat psychological or neurodevelopmental concerns such as ADHD, depression, insomnia, or autism spectrum disorder. Biofeedback is a broader category that, in addition to neurofeedback, also includes electromyogram, heart rate variability, and thermal biofeedback, each of which measures a particular physiological function (muscle activity, heart rate, and skin temperature, respectively)
What are the limitations of biofeedback?
While biofeedback may be helpful for certain conditions, its efficacy is less assured for others, such as high blood pressure. People with certain health conditions such as heart arrhythmia may not be able to benefit from biofeedback because their condition may interfere with the machines’ readings. Biofeedback can also be time-consuming and costly, and may not be covered by health insurance.
