Neurofeedback, also called EEG Biofeedback, is a self-regulation method that employs a non-invasive, reward-based training system to improve brain function.
For optimal function, the brain needs a healthy balance of fast and slow brainwave activity that is different in each brain region. Neurofeedback teaches the brain to change its electrical firing, improving function by normalizing brainwave activity.

Learning from feedback, the brain redistributes its activity.
First, we create a brain map by collecting and processing a QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) to measure the electrical activity at 19 sites on the scalp. That information is compared with self-reported symptoms and goals to determine training locations and protocols to affect positive change. Clients train 2-3 times per week for 30+ sessions depending on client goals and needs.
The QEEG is processed into a brain map that shows how the brain is firing compared to a normed database. Neurofeedback training protocols are based on the brain map.
During a neurofeedback session, EEG sensors on the scalp monitor the client’s brainwaves. While the client watches a movie, training software provides feedback by rewarding the brain with a bright picture and full volume when brainwave patterns are within training parameters. When the brainwave frequencies being trained are outside the training parameters, the monitor darkens and the volume decreases. With this feedback, the brain learns new ways of firing, creating lasting change that is generalized into everyday life.
Neurofeedback training brings lasting change.
After experiencing, first hand, the power of neurofeedback to change lives, I set out to learn how to do it myself, and now have a neurofeedback practice in Lakewood, Colorado. I hold a an MA in Education from CU Boulder and a BA in Psychology from Stanford University, and am Board Certified in Neurofeedback through BCIA. During weekly webinars, I continue to learn from experts and pioneers in the field of neurofeedback.
