Are you needing a reliable, safe to resolution of your current suffering? Current understanding of brain science is clear: talking about your problem is not enough to resolve it because of how trauma protects itself and re-focusing on it over and over only makes it worse. Dr. Bessell van der Kolk of the Trauma Center in Boston, a key figure in the trauma resolution world now uses neurofeedback because he realizes that it directly helps the brain re=-set itself after trauma.This is the age of the complex, adaptive brain...
We discovered about 15 years ago that our brains do not work the way we had been told. Our brains (or Central Nervous Systems {CNS} to be more precise) don't stop developing at around 18 years of age as we had believed for a couple of centuries. Our CNS is completely adaptable throughout our lifespan. This is great news for anyone who has had to live with the limitation imposed by a condition like OCD, depression, anxiety, poor focus, ADD/ADHD, stage fright, social interaction fears and on and on. All these conditions are the symptoms of a CNS that is overwhelmed and not functioning as it is meant to. Our CNS is so adaptable and resilient that IT is able to can change how it behaves, or mature, based on its own experience!
So now we can listen to how the brain is behaving moment to moment and any time the brain (CNS) is misbehaving by using too much energy to accomplish its survival tasks, we can give it feedback in its own language that is just malfunctioned (using too much energy to deal with whatever is happening) and it takes that information and shifts to a more effiicient mode of behavior. And by training your CNS to do this over and over, you are calmer, more present, and able to deal with stressful situations that would have made you upset and lose energy.
This approach is called NeurOPTIMAL® Neurofeedback and with more than 5 millions hours of client training, has proven that it is the safest, non-invasive, most effective approach to brain training available today. |

| Bio: |
I began my work as a therapist in 1982. At that time I was doing hands-on therapy helping clients discharge the effects of stress on their body. I soon began to see that their was a connection between body, emotions, and brain and this lead me to study the human psyche from many points to view, from West and East alike. My 20 apprenticeship training with a therapist in New York City who was working in the area of trauma changed my approach with working with clients completely.
Trauma, or unresolved traumatic stress, is a biological condition where the body and the mind are held in a sort of biological anesthesia until that 'frozen energy' can be digested and integrated simply as 'life experience'. My work with therapist and voice trainer Margaret Riddleberger, the work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Dr. Fritz Smith, Dr. Perter Levine via my training with Micheal Salveson of the Rolf Institute, Dr. John Upledger among others all trained me to understand that childhood trauma, which all humans experience and which is a normal human developmental process, is the key to our maturity and in some people a process that will have to be engaged and resolved if they are to live a happy and productive life.
I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and am licensed psychotherapist in Colorado. I hold a Master Certification in Neurofeedback, am a nationally certified EMDR Trauma Psychotherapist, have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivation Interviewing, Couples Counseling among others.
