My Therapeutic Approach

  • Integrated Listening Therapy (ILS)

    ILS combines specially-treated music with movement and cognitive activities to:

    Regulate the nervous system for optimal learning

    Improve auditory processing and attention

    Enhance sensory integration

    Support emotional regulation and behavior

    What to Expect: Sessions involve listening to processed music through special headphones while engaging in purposeful movements. This can be done in my clinic or at home.

  • Reflex Integration and Rhythmic Movement Therapy

    This therapy addresses retained primitive reflexes and uses rhythmic movements to:

    Support proper brain development

    Improve motor coordination

    Enhance attention and focus

    Reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation

    What to Expect: Gentle, rhythmic movements that help integrate reflexes and support overall development.

  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation (Tru-Vaga)

    The vagus nerve is like a "superhighway" between your brain and body. Tru-Vaga uses gentle electrical pulses to stimulate this nerve, helping to:

    Activate the "rest and digest" system for deeper calm

    Reduce anxiety and stress responses

    Improve sleep quality

    Support digestive function

    Enhance emotional regulation

    What to Expect: A small, portable device is placed on the neck area for brief, gentle stimulation sessions. Most children find it comfortable and some even describe it as soothing.

  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Training with Mightier

    HRV is a key indicator of how well your body manages stress and self-regulation. Using the Mightier biofeedback program, children learn to build emotional regulation skills through interactive gameplay.

    This tool helps children:

    Recognize their emotional states in real time

    Develop calming strategies through fun, motivating games

    Improve frustration tolerance and impulse control

    Strengthen self-awareness and emotional flexibility

    What to Expect: Children wear a heart rate monitor while playing engaging app-based games. The game adapts to their stress levels, encouraging them to use calming techniques to return to a “blue zone” before continuing. It’s a powerful, kid-friendly way to build lifelong regulation tools through play.

  • Alpha-Stim® AID Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES)

    Alpha-Stim® AID is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared device that uses gentle microcurrent stimulation to support emotional balance and improve sleep. By delivering low-level electrical pulses through earclip electrodes, it helps regulate brainwave activity and neurotransmitter function, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

    This therapy can help:

    Reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress

    Improve sleep quality and duration

    Enhance mood stability

    Support emotional regulation

    Complement other therapeutic interventions

    What to Expect: Sessions typically last 20 to 60 minutes and can be conducted in the clinic or at home with proper guidance. During treatment, you'll wear small earclip electrodes while engaging in restful activities. Many individuals experience immediate relief from anxiety, while improvements in sleep and mood may develop over several weeks of consistent use. The device is safe, well-tolerated, and free from the side effects commonly associated with medications.
