Customized Therapy to Meet Individual Needs

As licensed professional counselor with 30+ years of experience, I have training in a variety of therapeutic methods to help clients create healthy lives. During your initial intake, we will discuss what patterns are keeping you stuck and which approaches might work best to meet your goals. As we partner together, we can adjust treatment to best meet your needs.

Talk Therapy

Talk therapy focuses on our thoughts and behaviors. It helps us identify what we believe and create in our lives. Sometimes it is helpful to get an objective view of what is happening to cause emotional upset. Often trauma and emotional upset exist in our body beyond our awareness. When our body responds before we are aware of the triggers, other therapeutic methods can be helpful to address trauma.

Polyvagal Breathing and Somatic Work

Polyvagal breathing and somatic work are interconnected approaches that focus on the body’s role in emotional regulation and trauma recovery. Poly vagal breathing emphasizes the role of the vagus nerve in regulating stress responses. Slow, deep breaths help shift the parasympathetic nervous system from a state of fight or flight into calmness, relaxation, and safety.

BrainPaint® – Evidence-Based Neurofeedback

When we experience emotional trauma, our bodies work to protect us. Electrical impulses in our brains work to keep us safe by becoming overreactive or underacting to triggers, creating a fight, fright, freeze, or faun reaction. These reactions can keep us stuck in an emotional loop. BrainPaint® Neurofeeback is designed to train our brains to respond in ways that allow us to regulate our emotions, using real-time data from electroencephalography (EEG). No medication or electrical stimulation goes into the brain. Small sensors set on your head track brain reactions. Through audio and visual feedback, clients can see how their brain reacts to different prompts. BrainPaint® Neurofeeback therapy is safe, pain-free, and non-invasive. It may be used with both children and adults to achieve lasting results without harmful side effects.

BrainPaint® Neurofeedback therapy aims to improve many neurological and psychological conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, migraines, addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, low energy, sleep, anger control, and epilepsy.
