I have really enjoyed exploring Neurofeedback with my clients, and it’s thrilling to see the difference it can make in so many lives.

“My path to become a therapist began when I was young; seeking adventure and wanting to make a change in the world. Through immersion in other cultures, meeting new people, and seeing new things, I learned that change happens every day, while you are living your life, doing simple things like drawing with a child, or having coffee with a struggling parent, or offering support to someone suffering from illness. Change must happen within each individual, so that person can then influence another, and another, even in small ways. I enjoy working with clients that are ambitious, motivated, and accepting of challenges in order to make change happen.”

There is a way to change patterns. By making connections and reframing struggles, you can change the way you think, which can change the way you feel, which can change the way you live.
