Recovering from a concussion can be a long and challenging journey, with lingering symptoms such as headaches, memory problems, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Traditional treatment options often focus on rest and symptom management, but recent advances in neuroscience are offering new solutions. Therapies like neurofeedback and brain mapping for concussion recovery are proving to be valuable tools in helping the brain restore balance and function after injury.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that disrupts normal brain activity. Even mild concussions can cause changes in neural communication, affecting mood, cognition, and physical well-being. While most people recover with time, some experience post-concussion syndrome, where symptoms persist for weeks or even months. This is where therapies such as neurofeedback and brain mapping for concussion recovery can make a difference by directly targeting brain function.
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that trains the brain to self-regulate. By monitoring brainwave activity in real time, it provides feedback that helps individuals retrain irregular patterns associated with concussion symptoms. This can result in improved focus, reduced anxiety, and better sleep—common challenges after a head injury. Over time, neurofeedback and brain mapping for concussion recovery can accelerate the healing process by restoring healthy brain rhythms.
Brain mapping, also known as qEEG, provides a detailed view of brainwave activity. For individuals recovering from a concussion, this technology can pinpoint areas of the brain that are underactive or overactive due to injury. This allows clinicians to create personalized treatment plans, making neurofeedback and brain mapping for concussion recovery more effective and tailored to each person’s unique needs.
When neurofeedback and brain mapping are used together, they create a powerful approach to concussion recovery. Brain mapping identifies the areas in need of support, while neurofeedback provides the training to correct them. This combination helps reduce headaches, improve memory, enhance mood stability, and promote overall brain resilience.
Living with post-concussion symptoms can feel overwhelming, but new therapies are offering hope. Neurofeedback and brain mapping for concussion recovery give the brain the tools it needs to heal naturally, helping individuals regain balance and return to their daily lives with confidence.

I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.
I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices. Whether we’re working with the nervous system, processing painful memories, or exploring patterns with curiosity, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported, present, and empowered to grow. I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing. Outside the office, you’ll often find me climbing, fly fishing, running trails, foraging, or relaxing in the grass under the aspens. My love for movement, play, and nature continually inspires how I show up with clients.
