• As a neurofeedback practitioner and associate psychotherapist, I find few things more remarkable than the mind’s capacity for growth and healing. There are so many powerful ways to modulate and optimize how we experience emotion and connect with those around us. I passionately believe that everybody possesses the power to heal and thrive. I strive to facilitate a fun, collaborative, creative, easy-going, totally non-judgmental clinical space where unvarnished honesty and personal growth can flourish. Being human is often challenging, painful, and beautiful beyond words. You deserve peace and purpose, and I welcome the chance to work with you towards actualizing your goals and best hopes.
