LENS Neurofeedback

LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a unique form of direct neuro/biofeedback. It works directly with the Central Nervous System and helps with many physical, emotional, & cognitive concerns. LENS reads brainwaves in real time and simultaneously emits a frequency which gently disrupts "outdated" patterns, allowing for new neural pathways to be created. It is a helpful treatment for ADHD, chronic pain, concussions & TBIs, anxiety, autoimmune diseases, depression, mood disorders, and much more.

​

This is an in person appointment only. Recommended treatment is 10 weekly appointments or until symptoms have improved to the desired outcome. Many people experience noticeable results within the first few sessions. Home visits available upon approval. â€‹

EMDR Therapy

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy used to help individuals process and alleviate distressing symptoms associated with perceived traumatic experiences. It can be used for past, present, or future events. It can also be an effective treatment for phobias, fears, and physiological symptoms such as chronic pain.

 

During an EMDR session, clients are directed through a bilateral stimulation (BLS) process. Usually BLS is done with eye movements, but it can also be done with tapping or handheld buzzers. Back and forth eye movements mimics what our eyes do during the REM sleep stage, which is when our brains do a lot of processing. EMDR works with the brain's neural networks so it is not a cognitive "thinking" therapy. The brain will automatically go to associated memories or feelings which are most relevant for the healing process. EMDR can be done in person or virtually.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be approached from a clinical or spiritual perspective depending on the clients' preference. Hypnosis is a state of very deep relaxation or meditation where healing is accessible. It uses techniques to help guide the cognitive/analytical mind to the side and speaks directly to (or with) the subconscious mind. Sessions may remind you of calming guided meditations you've tried before but hypnotherapy also often includes interactive conversation which is specific only to you and your goals. Can be done in person or virtually from the comfort of the client's own home. ​

​

Hypnotherapy may consist of:

  • Direct suggestion to the subconscious mind

  • Parts Work/Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Past/alternate lifetime regression (PLR)

  • Age regression therapy/Inner child work

  • Replacing old patterns and beliefs with new ones

Energy Healing

Energy healing is a multi-dimensional healing approach. Each session is different. I work intuitively and select the mode of therapy best suited to the client and their presenting concerns. I'm trained in BodyTalk and Traditional Usui Reiki and have taken courses in the science of medical intuition and other consciousness based energy healing approaches such as Mindscape. Energy work sessions may include; muscle checking, tapping, visualizations, specific breathing techniques, focused intention, smudging, and more.

 

In person, clients lay fully clothed on a massage table. By distance, clients may choose their check in to be by video or phone call. The rest of the session is spent in a quiet, restful state. At the end, notes of the session are sent to the client via email. You may also choose to purchase this as a gift for a loved one.

Nightmare Therapy

Many people with PTSD suffer from nightmares. I have spent years studying and researching all types of dreams and have found reliable methods to resolve night terrors. 

​

Nightmare therapy may include: 

  • Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT)

  • Somatic experiencing (felt sense)

  • Nightmare rescripting

  • Making art about the dream

  • Cognitive analysis/association
