I offer a unique approach to traditional counseling, combining Jungian psychology with insights from neuroscience. My work spans two key domains: conditions rooted in psychological symptoms and those with a neurophysiological basis. This distinction is drawn from my extensive experience in both counseling and analyzing the human EEG (brainwaves). In our work together, I blend talk therapy with the potential benefits of neurofeedback. While we explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through traditional therapy, we can also analyze and train your brain’s neural pathways to promote self-regulation and healing.
This integrated approach allows us to address a wide range of symptoms and diagnoses, whether they involve psychological challenges like trauma, anxiety, and depression, or more neurophysiological issues like TBI or sleep disturbances.
No matter what brings you to counseling—whether you seek increased productivity, better memory and focus, or relief from anxiety, depression, PTSD, or addictions—we can work together to achieve your goals. Neurofeedback can be a powerful tool in guiding your brain toward self-regulation, complementing the depth and insight provided by talk therapy.
