Elizabeth is also a NeurOptimal Neurofeedback provider, and is passionate about creating a safe environment where neurological systems can rest, heal, and receive the resources they need. When in places of stress or overwhelm, our brain can get “stuck”--often resulting in symptoms such as anxiety, inattentiveness, rigidity, and overwhelm.  NeurOptimal Neurofeedback is like training for your brain in these places of stress–working with your central nervous system to foster cognitive, emotional, and psychological resiliency and regulation.
