Therapy that works
Finding Peace, Balance and Strength
Neurofeedback, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Gestalt Psychotherapy
I am committed to helping you find peace, balance and strength through cutting edge therapies that bring real change.
Neurofeedback therapy
Neurofeedback focuses on symptoms rather than diagnosis
Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. It is also called EEG biofeedback because it is based on brain activity. Brain waves are reflected back to the brain to promote self-regulation and optimal brain function.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Horses can offer an extraordinary experience providing a sensory, somatic, emotional and relational environment.
Equine-Assisted Practice is a unique approach to experiential learning, where clients are offered safe experiences with horses for the purposes of personal development, social-emotional and relationship skill development.
Gestalt Psychotherapy
Individual Sessions
Room based and Zoom
Gestalt Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the present moment, the here and now through awareness, phenomenology, and the paradoxical theory of change. There is a commitment to the co-created relationship between the client and the therapist and a curiosity of what emerges from the field.
I am committed to ensuring a safe relational environment and practice though a trauma-informed lens.
Group Sessions
Group work offers a very powerful way of experiencing how we are in the world around us. The group can be a rich environment for individuals to grow and heal. The goal is to create an atmosphere of awareness, reflection, and connection that is safe enough to work on life's riskiest material.
I have a particular interest in working with groups within the Emergency Services.

What Is Neurofeedback?
by Siegfried Othmer Ph.D
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive technique used to help the brain self-regulate. Using sensors and special software, we simply measure brain activity and reflect it back through a video display. When we allow the brain to see its own activity, it can then adjust itself for better physical and mental performance. Nothing is ever transmitted into the brain. We are only recording and feeding back information found within the EEG.
By improving self-regulation of brain activity, we help our clients function better cognitively, emotionally and behaviourally. This applies to children and adults suffering with symptoms like chronic headaches, or more serious conditions like autism or seizure disorders. It can also be a very useful tool for athletes, entrepreneurs or anyone looking to maximize their function and performance.

My Story
I developed my interest in Neurofeedback through a need to improve the brain functioning of my son who was born with cerebral palsy. After studying psychology and exploring different therapies, I found Neurofeedback to be the most powerful and most effective therapy to regulate the brain and allow for processing of trauma.
Having been involved with horses for all of my life I found Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to be a natural complement to my interest in helping people find peace and calm from trauma and all that life throws at us. And most recently, I have seen the power of healing through relationship as I navigated my own journey of processing and integrating trauma during my Gestalt Psychotherapy training.
