Neurofeedback
A direct way to work with the nervous system when insight isn’t enough
Neurofeedback is a form of brain-based biofeedback that helps your nervous system regulate itself—without you having to talk, analyze, or relive anything.
For many of my clients, this is the missing piece.
They understand why they react the way they do.
They’ve done therapy.
They’re smart, reflective, capable.
And still—when the moment hits—their body takes over.
Neurofeedback works at that level.
Neurofeedback and neurodivergent brains
Neurodivergent and ADHD brains are often highly capable but poorly regulated, especially under stress.
Common experiences I hear:
“I know what to do, I just can’t make myself do it.”
“My focus is either locked in or totally gone.”
“I’m exhausted from managing my brain all day.”
“I’m calm until I suddenly… very much am not.”
Neurofeedback doesn’t aim to make your brain “normal.”
It supports flexibility, state-shifting, and recovery.
Clients with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence often experience:
improved sustained attention
reduced internal noise or mental chaos
fewer intense startle or overwhelm responses
better transitions between rest, focus, and engagement
less burnout from constant self-monitoring
Importantly: many notice these changes without having to consciously try.
That’s the point.
So, what is neurofeedback—really?
In simple terms: your brain gets real-time information about how it’s functioning, and it uses that information to recalibrate itself.
Think of an acupuncture session, but instead of needings, small sensors are placed on the scalp. These sensors do not send anything into your brain. They simply read electrical patterns (EEG activity). That information is then fed back through sound, allowing the brain to recognize what’s happening and gently shift toward more regulated patterns.
No forcing.
No “fixing.”
No effort required on your part.
This process is supported by decades of clinical research showing neurofeedback’s effectiveness in improving regulation of the autonomic nervous system—the system responsible for stress, safety, focus, sleep, and emotional reactivity.
What neurofeedback supports
Neurofeedback is especially helpful if your nervous system tends to live at the extremes.
Over-arousal
(anxiety, hypervigilance, insomnia, racing thoughts, reactivity)Under-arousal or shutdown
(depression, numbness, low energy, disconnection)Poor state flexibility
(difficulty shifting between focused/rested/engaged states)Chronic stress or trauma responses
even when you “know better” cognitively
Clients often notice changes in sleep, emotional steadiness, focus, and recovery from stress—sometimes before they can even put it into words.
That’s not mystical.
That’s nervous system regulation.
Why I offer neurofeedback alongside therapy
I integrated neurofeedback into my practice after seeing, again and again, that insight alone doesn’t always change physiology.
You can have incredible self-awareness and still:
snap when you don’t want to
freeze when you need to act
spiral when there’s no real danger
shut down when connection matters most
Modern trauma research has made it clear: lasting change often requires bottom-up support, not just top-down understanding.
Neurofeedback works directly with the nervous system patterns that developed to help you survive. Therapy helps you make meaning of them. Together, they’re powerful.
What a neurofeedback session looks like
No guesswork. No mystique.
-
We start with a full assessment and decide—collaboratively—where to place sensors based on your goals and nervous system presentation.
-
You recline comfortably (blankets, pillows, eye mask available)
Sensors are placed on your scalp
You listen to tones or audio feedback
You don’t have to “do” anything
-
Sessions are:
15 minutes for children
30 minutes for adults
-
You receive a brief Next-Day Report to track effects and help fine-tune future sessions.
That’s it.
Most people describe it as calming, subtle, and surprisingly impactful.
Frequency and expectations (the honest part)
Neurofeedback is brain training. That means consistency matters.
Twice weekly sessions tend to bring the most noticeable change
Once weekly can still be very supportive
Many clients see lasting benefits after 25–30 sessions
Some continue longer if new goals or placements are helpful
This is not a quick fix—but it is efficient. We’re working with learning and neuroplasticity, not willpower.

In-person only
Neurofeedback is available for clients seeking a non-verbal, nervous-system-focused approach to regulation and recovery. It can be pursued on its own or alongside psychotherapy.
