Biofeedback facilitates awareness of subtle changes in your physiology so that you learn greater control over your response to life.
If you feel anxious or depressed about a problem or habit you want to change worsened by stress such as weight issues, relationship concerns or addictions, then hypnotherapy & neurofeedback together can help you regain a sense of peace & enhanced well being. I also practice IFS & bio- neurofeedback. I believe in a mind body approach to help reduce stress from physical conditions such as pain, illness, sleep and digestive disorders. It is my intention to empower every person to experience their innate wisdom & inner guidance. I am certified in Ketamine assisted therapy which takes place in my office. Contact me if you are interested.

Finding yourself in misalignment may leave you feeling lost, doubting your abilities, feeling stuck in a cycle of depression and anxiety, or forming disheartening beliefs of the Self and the world. Maybe you're finding yourself numb with a lack of compassion, experiencing heavy negative self-talk and criticism. With an open mind, motivation, and a therapist who considers your values, you can gain confidence and skills helpful for times of conflict, uncertainty, and adjustment. Teenager, older adult, or somewhere in-between, I believe humans have the power within to take control of their stories and make positive, healthy choices.

It’s shocking how many people believe that suffering is normal. They muddle through life doing the very best they can, putting out crisis after crisis, not even recognizing that there’s a better way. It's impossible to get a handle on things when you feel like the world is on fire. You're panicked, you're depressed, relationships suffer, work suffers, your relationship with yourself suffers- there isn't a piece of your life it doesn't touch. Every ounce of energy you have goes to trying to keep it all from collapsing. IF you sleep, you wake up and you start again- doing it all over the next day. This isn't life, this is survival.

Counseling is best when it's personalized. There is no such things as a "one-size-fits-all" method to therapy. I have found that many of us have a combination of trauma and maladaptive behaviors that once explored and processed can dramatically improve the quality of life. I implement four cornerstone treatment approaches: EMDR, Mindful Movement, DBT(Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and expressive arts to calm the nervous system, resolve trauma and incorporate new behaviors.

Can biofeedback help with anxiety?
Biofeedback is often used to treat anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Anecdotal evidence and some research studies have found that it can improve symptoms of these disorders, sometimes significantly; however, studies on biofeedback have typically been small and researchers have cautioned that many have significant limitations, such as limited follow-up or a lack of a control group.
Is biofeedback evidence-based?
There is some evidence that biofeedback can effectively treat certain conditions; for example, its efficacy in treating headaches and urinary incontinence is generally thought to be well-established. There is also promising, but less conclusive, evidence that it can aid in stroke recovery or help someone manage a mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
What is the difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that measures brain activity specifically; it is typically used to treat psychological or neurodevelopmental concerns such as ADHD, depression, insomnia, or autism spectrum disorder. Biofeedback is a broader category that, in addition to neurofeedback, also includes electromyogram, heart rate variability, and thermal biofeedback, each of which measures a particular physiological function (muscle activity, heart rate, and skin temperature, respectively)
What are the limitations of biofeedback?
While biofeedback may be helpful for certain conditions, its efficacy is less assured for others, such as high blood pressure. People with certain health conditions such as heart arrhythmia may not be able to benefit from biofeedback because their condition may interfere with the machines’ readings. Biofeedback can also be time-consuming and costly, and may not be covered by health insurance.
