Navigating life as a medically retired Veteran, I have experienced and accepted the universality of trauma, and I understand the profound impact our responses have on shaping the trajectory of our lives. As a mental health counselor, my approach is non-diagnostic in nature, grounded in meeting individuals wherever they are in their unique life paths. My commitment is to provide a compassionate space for healing and personal development, with a focus on strengths while acknowledging areas for improvement.

NEUROFEEDBACK Neurofeedback is a form of *biofeedback that focuses on the brain waves.
Any one who is looking to "navigate" life while enduring stressors from home, job, school, relationships, etc., can come to us for help. The world is ever changing but mentally we are not always prepared for what is asked of us which causes people to question themselves and their abilities. We all have self-correcting systems in our bodies, but these systems need more specific information than the body provides alone. Biofeedback allows us to gather this information and instantly display it back to you visually and audibly. You then have the information to help you gain control over your physiological and behavioral responses.

I specialize in working with high achievers, athletes, and performers who want to build self-trust, regain confidence, reduce anxiety, and better understand their perfectionistic tendencies. I also support clients with injuries and life after sport.

You may feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but cannot shift. Trauma, especially sexual violence and attachment injury, can leave parts of you holding fear, shame, hypervigilance, or disconnection long after the danger has passed. You may notice dissociation, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty trusting yourself or others. This work creates space to understand your internal system, build Self leadership, and help your nervous system learn safety so you can live with greater clarity, stability and connection. You do not need to force change. Healing happens by building relationship with every part of you safely within you.

Neurofeedback Therapists
How does neurofeedback work?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback, meaning it provides real-time information about one’s physiological functions—in this case, brain activity. As they receive this feedback, clients are guided by a computer program, typically via visual or auditory cues, which aims to modify the brain patterns associated with their negative symptoms. Over time, proponents argue, clients learn how to better regulate their own brain function and improve the symptoms that cause problems in day-to-day life.
How effective is neurofeedback?
Some research has found that neurofeedback can help treat conditions like ADHD, and anecdotal evidence suggests that many people who undergo neurofeedback find it beneficial. However, some experts have expressed skepticism, arguing that the evidence in favor of neurofeedback is thin or may be due to the placebo effect. While the procedure is generally seen as safe and has few side effects, it is not typically considered a first-line therapy and is instead often recommended as an adjunct treatment.
What are the limitations of neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is generally considered safe and most patients report manageable side effects, or none at all. However, the research on neurofeedback remains inconclusive, and some experts are skeptical that it’s as effective as its proponents claim. It can also be costly and may not be covered by insurance; thus, it’s important to confirm cost and insurance coverage before initiating a neurofeedback program.
How long does neurofeedback last?
A typical neurofeedback session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. There is no set number of sessions needed for a course of neurofeedback. Before initiating a neurofeedback regimen, clients are advised to discuss the treatment timeline with their provider, as well as when they might expect to see results.
