My practice is built around providing counseling with Neurofeedback to adults and adolescents. I believe therapy can be tremendously beneficial in many ways, but particularly in offering an opportunity to look at life experiences and difficulties within an environment that emphasizes a strong, appropriate, and trusting relationship between client and therapist.
Main Services
EEG Neurofeedback is guidance of brain function, resulting in a more efficient and self-regulated brain. We watch the brain in action from one instant to another, and we display that information back to the person. We reward the brain for altering its own activity to more suitable patterns.
I am able to quickly build rapport with male clients who are uncomfortable in therapeutic situations and those who have difficulty expressing their emotions.
My goal within this relationship is always to help clients come to a greater understanding of themselves and the underlying (and usually not obvious or even consciously connected) basis behind actions and decisions. This leads to positive change and can occur at any stage in one’s life. I offer a wide range of services, specializing in psychotherapy and neurofeedback, providing treatment for:
ADD/ADHD
Anger and Violence
Anxiety and Depression
Chronic Pain
Head Injury
Sleep Disorders
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, neurotherapy, and brain training, is a section of Biofeedback. Biofeedback is a method of gaining information by monitoring blood pressure, skin temperature, brain waves, heart rate, and other body conditions to help encourage control over typically involuntary bodily processes through conditioning, also called operant conditioning and relaxation.
Neurofeedback is an evidence-based, non-invasive, drug-free method of normalizing brain function and decreasing symptoms of many neurological disorders. Through this type of brain training, a person can alter his or her own brainwave characteristics by challenging the brain to learn to reorganize and by conditioning the brain to function better.
In 2007, I was rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident and suffered a brain injury. The lingering effects of the injury threatened my career, cognition, and routine daily functioning. Through my journey to obtaining treatment for the injury, I found EEG Neurofeedback. Coupled with support from others, neurofeedback has facilitated significant, positive changes in brain function. I have been able to move past the injury and proceed with the career I previously thought had been destroyed, and I want to help others with treatments I believe in and from which I have experienced dramatic results.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the State of Oregon and have earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Forensic Psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Orange County Campus in Santa Ana, California, in 2008, and my M.A. in General Psychology from Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology in Culver City, California, in 2002. I obtained a B.S. in General Psychology from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, in 1999. I’ve been in private practice in Eugene since 2013. I was employed by the Colorado Department of Corrections, where I completed my doctoral internship and remained until 2012.
