DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE

After decades of practice, I am now incorporating breakthrough technology which dramatically increases the effectiveness of therapy. I now offer all my clients LENS Neurofeedback because it is so effective. The Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) is a passive EEG brainwave mirroring program that restores optimal mental and emotional functioning. It’s like pushing the reboot button on your brain and heart. They return to their natural, healthy state, addressing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, foggy thinking, memory, energy, motivation, sleep, PTSD, concussions, stroke and migraines, all while providing faster, easier thinking.

LENS clears habitual thought patterns that are not rooted in present time, the way dry old leaves fall when you shake a tree. Immediately after one of their first LENS sessions, people report feeling like they just sat a retreat—centered, present, happy, energized, aware of body sensations, concentrated. And the changes are enduring.

Traditionally, people come to sit with me in a mood of acceptance and compassion for many reasons. They come to me because they are unhappy. They come because their marriage is struggling. They feel isolated and lack confidence. They are at wit's end with their spirited children. They are lonely and long for a partner. Their sexual life is unsatisfying. Or, they know somehow that a greater connection to meaning is possible.

I have helped save many marriages. I am especially successful with lonely people who want a partner. I am an expert helping parents with spirited children. I talk to teenagers easily. I am a rock for couples on the sands of divorce. I have compassion, knowledge, and technology for people with poor health.
