Curious about what a typical neurofeedback session looks like in my Huntington Beach office? Here’s what you can expect from the moment you arrive to how your brain responds during training.



A Relaxing Start


When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, supportive space. I’ll walk you through the session and answer any questions you might have. There’s no need to prepare or bring anything special - just come as you are.


You’ll then settle into a comfortable chair and choose to watch a movie or play a video game. These are not simply for entertainment. They are part of the process. The screen becomes a tool for feedback that gently responds to your brain’s activity.



How the Technology Works


I’ll place four small sensors on your scalp. These sensors only read your brainwaves. They do not stimulate or send anything into the brain. The sensors send data to a computer that tracks your brain activity in real time.


As you watch the screen, it adjusts in response to your brain’s signals. When your brain shifts toward a calm, focused state, the screen may become brighter or clearer, and the sound may improve. If your brain becomes less regulated, the screen might dim or the audio may fade. These small changes help train your brain to move toward healthier, more balanced patterns.



Sessions Are Personalized


Every brain is unique, so I adjust the thresholds during each session based on your specific goals and responses. Whether you are working on anxiety, attention, sleep, trauma, or performance, the session is customized for you.


There is no pressure to “do it right.” In fact, the best results come when you are simply engaged with what is on the screen. You don’t need to concentrate hard or force anything.



What You Might Feel


Most clients report feeling relaxed, calm, or mentally refreshed afterward. Some notice improvements after the first few sessions. For others, the changes build gradually over time. We will track your progress together and adjust your training as needed.



Who It’s For


I work with people of all ages, from toddlers to adults in their 80s. Neurofeedback can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including:


  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Sleep problems

  • Trauma and emotional regulation

  • Enhancing performance in academics, sports, or creative work



Each session is designed to support your brain’s natural ability to self-regulate and improve how you feel and function.



Interested in trying it for yourself? I’d be happy to answer any questions and help you get started. Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive way to support your brain’s health and help you feel more calm, focused, and balanced.
