  • Neurofeedback is an evidence-based, non-invasive, and drug-free method that helps the brain and central nervous system function at their best. Much like exercise strengthens the body, neurofeedback trains the brain to create healthier patterns without long-term side effects. By working directly with brain wave activity, it addresses the root causes of dysregulation—often shaped by stress, trauma, or environment—helping the brain self-correct, self-regulate, and move toward optimal balance for improved mood, focus, and resilience.

    Session: $150 an hour.

    Packages: See below for more information.

  • In counseling and psychotherapy, I integrate the warmth, empathy, and unconditional positive regard of a person-centered approach with the insight-oriented depth of psychodynamic therapy. I strive to create a safe, attuned relationship where you feel truly understood while we explore unconscious patterns, early relational experiences, and inner conflicts. Together, we work toward both healing in the present and building the self-awareness needed for lasting change.

    Intake: $200 an hour.

    Session: $160 an hour.

    NOTE: All psychotherapy done as an employee of Desert Skies Psychotherapy under proper supervision for my credentials.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a gentle, evidence-based form of therapy that helps people heal from the effects of psychological trauma. Using an eight-phase approach, EMDR identifies and addresses experiences that have overwhelmed the brain’s natural ability to cope, leading to distressing symptoms or unhelpful coping patterns. Through guided reprocessing, these memories lose their disruptive emotional charge, allowing for greater peace and resilience.

    Developed in the late 1980s by Francine Shapiro, PhD, EMDR was first used to successfully treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Today, it is supported by extensive clinical research and used to address a wide range of challenges, from the impact of accidents and loss to natural disasters and other overwhelming life events.

    Session: $160 an hour.

  • TouchPoints use scientifically proven BLAST (Bi-Lateral Alternating Stimulation Tactile) technology to help calm the body’s stress response. Gentle, alternating vibrations on each side of the body shift your brain from a default “fight or flight” state to a calmer, more in-control state. Over time, this process retrains your body to respond differently to stress, reducing its negative effects.

    Safe, non-invasive, and free from side effects, TouchPoints can be used by both adults and children as a simple, drug-free way to ease stress and promote emotional balance.

    Cost: Included in Psychotherapy sessions.

    Rentals: Please Inquire.

  • The Listening Program® (TLP) features meticulously recorded and engineered music performed by world-class musicians, including the award-winning Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble—under the direction of Richard Lawrence—and composer and master ethno-percussionist Nacho Arimany, among others.

    Using the highest-quality recording technology and advanced neuro-acoustic techniques, TLP music is acoustically modified to stimulate and strengthen neurological pathways. This process supports your brain’s ability to learn, communicate, and process information more efficiently.

    TLP is highly versatile and can benefit people of all ages. Its applications range from rehabilitation and wellness to peak performance.

    Cost: Included in Psychotherapy sessions.

Neurofeedback


What is Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is an evidence-based, non-invasive, drug-free therapy used to train the brain and central nervous system (CNS) directly. Just as regular exercise benefits physical health, neurofeedback is exercise for the brain. It harnesses the brain’s plasticity and learning ability without long-term negative side effects (Rahman et al., 2023). With proper stimulus and biofeedback, the brain can self-correct and self-regulate, potentially providing a more permanent treatment than medication alone, as it targets the root source of dysregulation: the brain waves themselves. The brain produces five types of brain waves, with which neurofeedback interacts to redirect abnormal patterns that may be influenced by environment, upbringing, trauma, etc. The brain has a remarkable ability to respond to positive stimulus and self-regulate toward optimal patterns over time.

History and Research
Originally developed as a modality to prevent seizures by scientists at UCLA and the University of Chicago in the 1950s and ’60s (Sterman et al., 1978), neurofeedback was later expanded on by NASA in the 1970s and is still used in astronaut training due to its measurable impact on managing nervous system responses to stress (Marzbani et al., 2016).

What Neurofeedback Treats
Neurofeedback can relieve symptoms in various conditions, including:

  • Sleep Disorders

  • Learning Disabilities

  • Headaches and Migraines

  • Trauma or PTSD

  • Anxiety

  • Concussions and other brain injuries

  • Depression

  • Seizures

  • Stress Management

  • Neurodegenerative Decline (Marzbani et al., 2016)

Neurofeedback is also used by high-performing individuals and athletes to improve performance and mastery. Individuals may see marked improvements in:

  • Processing Speed

  • Reading Speed

  • Focus

  • Retention and Recall

  • Cognitive Function

  • Mental Resilience (Marzbani et al., 2016)

What to Expect in a Session
During a neurofeedback session, typically lasting 20–40 minutes, electrodes and sensors are placed on the scalp and hands. Clients also hold vibrational stimulators, such as a bear with a biofeedback device inside. These devices detect and provide biofeedback to the brain and body. The data produced is processed and translated into visual or auditory signals, allowing clients to receive direct visual and auditory feedback about their unique brain waves and patterns. This feedback is provided while the client watches a movie, plays a video game, listens to music, or enjoys a guided meditation.

The stimulation allows the brain to practice and optimize regulated patterns over dysregulated ones. With practice, the brain quickly learns to self-correct and regulate itself in the face of unwanted stimuli.

How Many Sessions to Expect
Clients may notice changes in sleep within the first 5–10 sessions. Standard protocols recommend 20 sessions, with optimal performance for adults sometimes reached in sessions comparable to their age. This depends significantly on the area of focus, symptom severity, and level of dysregulation. Children often experience changes more quickly than adults.

Types of Neurofeedback
I offer three types of neurofeedback, including infra-low frequency, deep-state alpha-theta, and synchronicity training. Alpha Theta is an trauma focused approach allowing clients to work through trauma without having to relive it, and can achieve somewhat similar effects as psychedelics by disarming defense mechanisms and providing more peaceful resolutions to trauma.  Synchronicity training achieves deep states of calm, similar to deep transcendental meditation states.  I use the Othmer Method through the Cygnet Software suite.

Is Neurofeedback Safe? Are There Any Side Effects?
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment, resembling an exercise for the brain rather than a chemical treatment. It is generally considered safe with no long-term negative side effects (Rahman et al., 2023). While rare, when side effects occur, they are usually short-term and resolve within 24–48 hours. Infrequent side effects may include sleepiness, lack of focus, mild headaches, or anxiety.

Clients should report any side effects to their clinician promptly so that treatment can be adjusted. Often, one additional session soon after symptoms occur can alleviate any prolonged negative side effect.

Pricing
Neurofeedback is not typically covered by insurance, though some exceptions may apply. Payment may also be made through most FSA/HSA benefits.

  • Standard Session: $150 per session

  • Packages:

    • 10 sessions: $1,400 ($140/session)

    • 15 sessions: $1,950 ($130/session)
