After seeing remarkable improvements with so many client concerns, (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, TBI, Stroke Recovery, ADHD, Sleep Issues, Memory, Focus, Performance Enhancement, and more), Emerald Coast NeruoFeedback was founded in 2021, making it available outside of my counseling practice.
After a thorough research-based assessment, a personalized protocol will be developed to provide EEG feedback (via auditory and visual feedback) to train your brain to move out of the states creating symptoms and into the states associated with your goals. We are training your brain not your mind; you simply sit, listen and watch your custom EEG protocol.

Have a sense that parts of you are pulling in different directions — one overworking, another shutting down, one sabotaging your efforts, and another trying to hold it all together? Feelings of overwhelm, helplessness, overthinking, overreacting, or ongoing relationship strain often point to an internal conflict or disconnect. Trauma, whether recent or long past, can fragment our inner system and keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode. When that happens, we lose access to calm, confidence, and connection — with ourselves, others and even Spirit.

You’re the one everyone depends on. The helper. The high achiever. The woman who keeps showing up for work, family, clients, and everyone around her—while quietly feeling frozen inside but still functioning because you have to. Maybe you keep telling yourself, “I’m trying,” yet it never feels like enough. Maybe the thought of saying no, slowing down, or even calling out of work fills you with guilt because you fear disappointing others. I work with women navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress who are tired of surviving and longing to feel like themselves again.

Gender identity, sexuality, trauma and intimacy are deeply personal and often complicated parts of the human experience. Whether you're navigating challenges related to identity, desire, connection, or sexual trauma, our work together can help you feel ready to face this chapter of your life—with gentleness, without shame. So often, sexual issues are rooted in deeper emotional wounds or a disconnection from self or others. Together, we can begin to unpack those layers, working at a pace that feels right for you, to foster healing, self-trust, and a more empowered sense of intimacy.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
