We all experience traumatic stress, and how we manage it significantly affects our satisfaction with ourselves, others, and our life overall. I enjoy working with clients to help them reach their personal goals, to learn new ways to manage stress, and build resilience. I offer neurofeedback, and EMDR (two therapies that heal the brain)-- see below; and cognitive therapies: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) as well as mindfulness techniques to enhance emotional wellbeing.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is EEG Biofeedback for the Brain
This type of brain training encourages the brain to heal itself. It is a non-invasive therapy that allows for increased awareness of your physical, emotional and cognitive symptoms. Once you are more self aware, you can self-regulate more easily, and will notice a decrease in negative symptoms.
Neurofeedback addresses many problems of brain dysregulation. These include: emotional and mood regulation, anxiety, panic, depression, attention deficits (ADD or ADHD), behavior disorders, PTSD, sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, PMS and emotional disturbances. It has been found to be helpful for organic brain conditions: autism, Asperger's, and seizures. Neurofeedback self-regulation training allows the brain to function more effectively.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)
When a person is anxious, their brain does not process information in the usual way. If a person has experienced a traumatic situation, their brain cannot "file" the memory properly. As a result of the memory being "filed" improperly, the brain is constantly on alert for that previous danger to occur again, and so it can become triggered easily with any situation with even minor similarities to the traumatic event. So traumatic memories can have a persistent negative effect that interferes with the way a person experiences the world and the way that they interact with other people.
EMDR seems to change the way the brain processes the traumatic memory, so that it is processed, or "filed" properly. So after a successful EMDR session, a person no longer relives the images, sounds, thoughts and feelings when the event is brought up to their mind. They will still remember the situation, but it is less upsetting, often without the emotions. Other types of therapy have similar goals; however, EMDR appears to be similar to what occurs naturally during dreaming or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Therefore, EMDR can be thought of as a physiologically based therapy that helps a person see disturbing material in a new and less distressing way.
