Many people suffer stress from past events, from childhood or later. My neurofeedback, biofeedback, and hypnosis can help reduce or eliminate that stress. I have t wo doctorates in clinical psychology (2012 and 2020) in addition to my certification in neurofeedback and hypnotherapy. I teach psychology at the Masters level at Antioch University in Santa Barbara so I'm really good at explaining what I do. I now have a Certificate in Sport Psychology! I pride myself in delivering these services in the most empathic manner possible. If you are short with your loved ones, generally uptight, and regretting it later I can help.
My practice involves calming somatic sources of emotional arousal. One might say I’m a nervous system whisperer, but that makes it sound overly mysterious. (Actually, sometimes it does work like magic!) My equipment allows you to perceive biomarkers that are normally beneath awareness such as brain waves and skin temperature & conductance level.
But that’s not all. I add hypnosis to the mix, enlisting the unconscious aspects of the mind to soothe bodily arousal. You could say my techniques hover between the mind and body to lift your spirit. I use the influences of the mind on the body, and the body on the mind to help
