Healing doesn’t always come through words alone.

In my latest article, I share two powerful, evidence-based approaches that I often recommend for clients seeking deep and lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, and stress:

✨ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): a guided way to help the brain reprocess painful memories.

✨ Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback: gentle brain training that promotes calm, balance, and resilience.

Both approaches give the brain a chance to heal itself naturally—without years of traditional talk therapy. In fact, many clients benefit from combining them.

If you’ve ever wondered which path might be right for you, I invite you to read my article and explore these two healing modalities.

I’m so happy to share my latest blog post: “Cognitive Remediation for Psychosis: Rebuilding the Mind’s Toolkit”, now live on the Awakenings Treatment Center blog.

In this post, I explain how tailored exercises—such as computer games, memory drills, and real-world role-playing—utilize neuroplasticity to help restore critical cognitive skills and rebuild confidence. tion, a kind of “mental physical therapy,” comes in—it strengthens attention, memory, reasoning, social understanding, and more.

In this post, I explain how tailored exercises—such as computer games, memory drills, and real-world role-playing—tap into neuroplasticity, helping to restore critical cognitive skills and rebuild confidence.

More than just brain training, it’s about supporting full recovery through therapy, medication, social support, and movement—so real, everyday wins become possible again.

I hope this piece inspires anyone on a recovery journey or those supporting them to explore how cognitive remediation can reshape more than just symptom relief—it rebuilds possibility!

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive approach that teaches the brain to regulate its own activity, leading to profound shifts in mood, focus, and resilience.

It has helped people struggling with addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, ADHD, and even traumatic brain injuries.

What I love most is that neurofeedback empowers clients—it’s their brain doing the healing, I’m just providing the support and technology to guide it. When we pair neurofeedback with therapy, mindfulness, and other integrative tools, the results can be life-changing!

Healing isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about creating lasting changes in how we live, think, and feel.

Revisiting this! I was honored to have joined the Creating Communities for Neurodivergent People Podcast in May 2025 ---as a featured guest on the episode titled “Debunking the Myths of Autism w/ John McFadden, Parents & Professionals.”

In the episode, I had the privilege of sharing my voice with mothers, professionals, and autistic individuals. Together, we embarked on a heartfelt, nuanced conversation rooted in reality and grounded in hope.

You can listen to my segment, as well as the full episode, to hear why autism doesn’t have to derail families or confine autistic people to an isolated existence. Instead, it can be a journey of community, growth, and meaningful connection.

If you haven't listened to this meaningful conversation yet, please do—you'll learn a lot!

🌿 💚 Healing Beyond Pain: A Holistic Approach to Chronic Illness

Living with chronic illness often means more than just managing physical symptoms; it can deeply affect your emotional and mental well-being.

I believe that true healing is about addressing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a transformative approach that empowers individuals to take control of their pain and reduce its intensity. By exploring the emotional and psychological factors contributing to chronic pain, PRT helps uncover the root causes, leading to lasting relief.

If you're ready to break free from the cycle of chronic illness and reclaim your life, I invite you to learn more about our integrative therapy options. Together, we can embark on a path toward healing and wellness.

🧠✨ How Depression Impacts Your Body – Not Just Your Mind

As a psychologist, I often hear: “I feel physically unwell, but my doctors can’t find anything wrong.” Could depression be the missing piece?

Depression isn’t just about sadness—many people experience physical symptoms that mimic common illnesses. If you’re noticing these signs, please know you’re not alone, and it may be more than “just stress.” Recognizing these clues is the first step toward healing.

Watch For These Physical Symptoms:
Appetite or weight changes — Some lose their appetite and weight, while others turn to food for emotional comfort. Both are common in depression.

Appetite or weight changes — Some lose their appetite and weight, while others turn to food for emotional comfort. Both are common in depression.

Headaches or muscle aches — Emotional stress often shows up as physical tension—back pain, neck soreness, headaches.

Digestive issues — Nausea, cramps, constipation, or diarrhea can stem from the brain‑gut connection.

Sleep disruptions — Insomnia or oversleeping both weaken immune response and deepen depressive symptoms.

Weakened immunity — More frequent colds or slow recovery can point back to emotional strain affecting your body.

Take Action & Support Your Journey!
Pair therapy with lifestyle support: gentle daily movement, balanced nutrition, stress reduction practices (like mindfulness or yoga), and consistent sleep. Sometimes, medication may also help ease both mental and physical symptoms.

You do not have to face this in silence.

Your mind and body deserve attention and care. If what you’re experiencing feels overwhelming, reach out to feel whole again.

💡Discipline vs. Motivation — Which one helps you grow?

Too often we wait for a burst of motivation to get started… only to feel stuck when it fades. But real growth? It comes from discipline — and from being kind to yourself when you slip.

Mastery isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, even on hard days — with self-compassion as your guide.

💬 What if you replaced self-judgment with encouragement? What would you accomplish then?

Here's how to build sustainable habits and emotional resilience:

🎧 I invite you to listen. (In case you missed it.)

As a clinical psychologist with decades of experience treating trauma and addiction, I’m increasingly concerned about the rising cases of cannabis-induced psychosis, particularly in adolescents and young adults.

During a recent presentation I gave to fellow clinicians, I broke down what clinicians—and families—need to know about how high-potency THC is impacting the mental health of vulnerable populations.

Whether you’re a provider, parent, educator, or simply curious about the intersection of cannabis and psychosis, I hope this information is helpful.💚

Did you know that the very medications meant to relieve pain can sometimes make it worse?

Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) is a complex condition where prolonged opioid use can actually heighten your sensitivity to pain.

Understanding this phenomenon is vital—not just for those managing chronic pain, but for anyone who wants to avoid the hidden dangers of long-term opioid use.

You can read more about the painful truth about OIH here: https://bit.ly/3EzkZXK.
