Philosophy:
"As a Christian nurse and psychotherapist I view psychotherapy as a "time out", a safe place to reflect, explore, heal and learn new understandings and behaviors most of all the understanding of god's place in our lives and His will that we be whole. New methods of thinking and coping blesses us with increased resourcefulness, freedom and confidence enabling more secure relationships. New spiritual awakenings open us to the knowledge that we can face what life brings us because, with His grace, we know that we are not alone."
I am trained in neurofeedback therapy, and where appropriate, have added it to my counselling services.
Neurofeedback is a powerful tool which deals with the physical "brain driven" component of behaviors wherein the brain changes itself in response to feedback. Whatever the cause (injury, illness, trauma, heredity) behavior patterns continue where an individual seems "stuck". Neurofeedback can be helpful in assisting the brain to reorganize thereby relieving symptoms of PTSD, OCD, autistic spectrum disorder, TBI, reactive attachment disorder, addictions, and, other anxiety related disorders.
