My specialty is integrating technology with psychology.   Most of my clients see me for depression, anxiety, addictive disorders, head injury, headaches, sleep disturbance, or attention problems.  I use neurofeedback, biofeedback, audiovisual entrainment, and cranial electrical stimulation.   I also teach self-regulation techniques that are simple, yet effective to use.  Most of my clients do not want to be on medications or wish to get off medications, and my strategies are a viable alternative.  While I provide talk therapy, I have discovered that many of my clients notice significant improvement without the need for traditional psychotherapy.    I wrote my doctoral thesis on biofeedback and strive to help my clients learn to manage their own lives successfully.

I have extensive training and experience in EMDR and cognitive behavior therapy as well.  I am Board Certified, Diplomat - Fellow in Psychopharmacology of the Prescribing Psychologists' Register (FPPR) and a member of the National Register of Health Care Providers in Psychology.
