I love my approach to brain wave training with neurofeedback. It is broadly effective at producing substantial results in your life that are enduring. Most often I see people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, migraine, PTSD, addictions, bipolar and autism. I believe that most people with psychological issues have brain wave activity that is either over-aroused or under-aroused. That is, either too much or too little brain wave activity in either the fast or slow frequencies. Mental problems are a timing issue in the brain. These timing issues can be corrected by practicing a better way to function.

Your love life has been feeling a little stale. The stress of the relationship is overwhelming. All you do is fight and argue. You don’t even know if you should stay or go at this point. They’ve been unfaithful and you’re unsure how to move past it and begin to trust again. The exhaustion from never having enough help around the house is so deep in your bones now. Then, he has the audacity to expect sex over a three minute chore that he didn’t even do right. She won’t stop nagging you over every little thing, and rarely puts out. Those step kids don’t act right!

I believe every one has their own unique potential in overcoming adversity. Life is not easy and often times we need support and someone to listen to our fears, hopes, dreams. We sometimes, need a nudge in a certain direction that we can't clearly see. I can help provide that nudge with whatever your are struggling with and provide insight on how to get there. I also do life coaching. Life coaching is different than therapy in that you may need guidance but not have a psychological disorder.

I integrate relational talk therapy with neurofeedback, a form of self-regulation training that uses the brain’s ability to change itself to run more efficiently and overcome these and many other functional difficulties.
If you are reading this, the stressors in your life may be outpacing your resources to deal with them. You may feel unhappy and unable to achieve your goals. Whether we face relationship problems, excessive anxiety, frequent overwhelm and other painful emotions; depressive or unstable moods, attention issues, or insufficient energy to cope with circumstances – any of these challenges may lead us to think that something is essentially wrong with us, or that we are somehow unworthy of getting what we want. Sometimes we have tried psychotherapy, but our difficulties have persisted despite our greater self-knowledge and best intentions.

As a Harvard trained psychologist, I work to use my education, experience, and passion for my profession to create a comfortable, caring enviroment for every individual I see.

I then work with individuals to discover and change aspects of their thinking that have become ineffective; thoughts that lead to debilitating negative emotions or destructive behaviors. In every session I work to foster the open dialog and mutual respect needed to ensure a productive therapeutic relationship.

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.
