I'm a certified LENS Neurofeedback practitioner and licensed counselor, based in Sleepy Hollow , NY, specializing in allieviating neurological conditions in adults and children in a gentle, non-invasive, drug-free way, and providing support, guidance and healing. I provide in-office treatment with LENS neurofeedback / biofeedback , healing and counseling, as well as teletherapy/ by phone in counseling. Additionally, I provide help for stress management, emotional control, relaxation techniques, energy clearing, lifting 'brain fog', mental clarity, test-taking and peak performance training. I find fulfillment not only in relieving people's suffering, but facilitating life transitions for those interested in going beyond symptom relief to integration, to achieving new purpose and a more optimal way of functioning, as a process within a Personalized Program.
As counselor and EEG biofeedback / neurofeedback practitioner, there is is an overlap in how I help, and issues addressed, such as: in the alleviating of neurologically-based conditions, including Anxiety, Depression, Pain, Insomnia, as well as non-clinical issues, including: managing stress, gaining emotional control, stabilizing mood, reducing emotional reactivity and social anxiety, addressing grief, trauma, boosting self-esteem, improving sense of wellbeing, lifting 'brain-fog', mental clarity, focus, productivity, optimal functioning, helping resolve conflict, regain optimism, defining core values, setting goals, making healthy lifestyle changes.
Some or all of these issues and approaches can be further addressed within a Personalized Program, which offers optional treatment and training , including: counseling, neurofeedback, healing and relaxation techniques, peak performance training for executives, sportspeople, performing artists, test-takers, and anyone looking for a process of relieving symptoms and going beyond to new directions, and improved levels of functioning.
In treating and alleviating neurological conditions and other above-mentioned issues, my primary modality is the LENS ( Low Energy Neurofeedback System), an advanced, yet gentle brain technology, so-called, because it use a tiny but powerful signal, much smaller than that from a cell phone, a homeopathic modal, which the brain is attracted to, and uses the fed back signal, slightly tweaked, to self-regulate and balance the autonomic nervous system. In a passive , user-friendly approach, the LENS is quick, requires no effort, particularly useful for fidgety patients, including children diagnosed with ADHD. Many come to this treatment, wanting an alternative, drug-free approach, and often suggested by progressive - minded, Physical Medicine physicians. Patients on meds may become interested, on advice from their doctors, to taper with a goal of becoming free of meds over time. Following a course of neurofeedback treatment and training, gains in this drug-free approach tend to persist. Much hope in neuroscience has arisen in recent times by findings in neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to change and improve it's function in adults as well as children. The LENS provides conducive conditions for harmonizing the central nervous system by way of disentrainment - the freeing up of 'stuck' and dysregulated brainwave patterns, commonly seen in chronically stressed patients and trauma victims. Through assimilation of the training, self-regulation, integration, a shift in the neurochemistry and relief of symptoms can occur naturally. bringing with it peace of mind, clarity and resilience. I have treated adults, children, even pets using this gentle, non-invasive approach. Typically, this treatment and training approach is attractive to those who are familiar with, and informed on health, wellness and who are dissatisfied with purely allopathic medicine.
In my practice I engage on all levels: mental, emotional, psychological, physiological, energetic, in order to understand and address your individual or collective issues, needs, so as to determine treatment approaches and solutions.
