Petaluma Office

We will have an initial phone call to discuss your concerns and to see if the work I do may be a good fit for your needs. If we determine it is a good fit, we will clarify issues related to payment, and then we will either schedule your first session or I will put your name on my waitlist.

1. 1Client portal & paperworkBefore your first visit, I will send you an invitation to my client portal. You will create a username and password and will be able to log on to complete the required paperwork. Once you complete it, I will review your paperwork before our first visit so that we can make the most of our time together.
2. 2Intake & treatment planningAfter your intake interview, we will determine which modalities are best suited to your needs. If biofeedback is a part of your treatment plan, we will conduct a biofeedback assessment to help us understand how your body responds to both stress and relaxation. This will help determine which biofeedback approaches are indicated. In some, but not all cases, a QEEG will be conducted to help with neurofeedback treatment planning.
3. 3Neurofeedback & biofeedback sessionsWe will then begin the neurofeedback training process. At the beginning of each neurofeedback/biofeedback session, we will check in about your progress. Then, we will spend the majority of our time together doing the neurofeedback/biofeedback training. I ask clients to be in close communication with me throughout their treatment about what they notice after the session.
4. 4Somatic work & psychotherapy sessionsSomatic work and psychotherapy sessions vary based on the concerns the client wishes to address and their unique goals. Psychotherapy usually involves a weekly questionnaire completed online to help us track progress and ensure we are working toward your desired outcomes.

Both neurofeedback/biofeedback and psychotherapy sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis. Fees are due at the beginning of each session.
