The mental space of our thoughts and emotions became a wonderful laboratory in which to employ relaxation training, mindfulness, biofeedback, and cognitive therapy.
How can I help? Do you desire to learn how to handle stress better, experience peace of mind, take things in stride, or reach your goals? My patients are people with chronic medical illness and with those suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, depression, trauma, or insomnia. I ask a lot of the people with whom I work. Much of the treatment takes place between sessions, with me acting much as a coach would. Efforts are made to build upon a person's strengths. Why not start building a better life today?

My clients often have realized that they want something different in their lives but are unsure what they want or need to do to make a change. They are motivated and work with me to achieve something new. Their issues may be feeling stuck, unsatisfied, having difficulty managing their emotions, and maximizing their potential. They want to feel less depressed, stressed, anxious, or angry. Like most of us, these people want more meaningful relationships with their close friends, family members, and loved ones. I want clients who will let me know what works and does not work, and will be an active participant in therapy.

I am passionate about helping people improve their well-being and regain a sense of hope. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), I help clients improve sleep by exploring beliefs and circadian rhythm issues that hinder sleep. CBT-I is a powerful protocol that the American College of Physicians recognizes as the first-line treatment for adults with chronic insomnia. In addition to sleep therapy, I utilize biofeedback to train heart rate variability (HRV), which aids in regulating nervous system functioning, decreasing anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and improving stress management.

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.
