We are living in a moment in human history where stress is shaping our minds, bodies, and behaviors in unprecedented ways, often undermining our overall health and well‑being. This impact is especially concerning for young people. While we cannot fully control the rapid technological changes influencing all of us—particularly our youth—we can offer them tools. By teaching practical, science‑based and time‑tested self‑regulation skills through mind‑body medicine and biofeedback, we can help them navigate their environment with greater confidence and resilience.
Neuroscience shows that the nervous system can change both structurally and functionally in ways that enhance focus and improve stress management. Much like training a muscle, we can strengthen the brain’s capacity to direct attention, integrate its functions, and respond to challenges with greater flexibility. Through intentional practice, we can cultivate resilience and increase access to the higher‑order abilities of the most recently evolved regions of the brain.
An initial visit is held with the caregiver(s) alone when the patient is under 18. This 60‑minute appointment includes orientation, a detailed intake, and an assessment to determine the most appropriate training plan. Weekly follow‑up sessions are 50 minutes and typically begin with focused‑attention practices, breathwork, and assigned home exercises. Subsequent sessions build on this foundation through review of home practice, evaluation of progress, and continued skill development—reinforcing established techniques while introducing new ones as needed.
A core goal of this work is for each patient to develop a practical, self‑reliant toolkit that does not depend on me or on any equipment. Although the pace of learning varies, most individuals reach their goals within 8–12 sessions. Once core competencies are in place, I generally recommend follow‑up visits every 2–4 weeks to help sustain skills and support ongoing growth.

I am contracted with the following insurance companies:
Regence, Premera, Lifewise, and First Choice.
Please contact your insurance company to verify coverage.
Although office visits are typically covered by most insurance plans, some mind-body medicine intervention services, including but not limited to biofeedback therapy and neuromuscular re-education, are considered by insurance companies to be medically unnecessary and therefore are not covered by insurance. Patients receiving biofeedback are responsible for a fee of $75.00 (with a sliding scale available for those who need it), in addition to any applicable copay or co‑insurance.
I offer a reduced time of service fee for those paying out-of-pocket and a sliding scale for those who qualify.
My time-of-service fees are as follows:
Initial visit: $295.00
Follow-up visits: $195.00
The above time-of-service fees include any biofeedback services rendered.
