Tristam is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), and is board certified in electroencephalogram (EEG) neurofeedback through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. Since graduating with a master’s degree in mindfulness based mental health counseling in 2017, he has focused his professional interest in the field of neurotherapy which utilizes the use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to promote better brain regulation. Tristam specializes in helping his clients find symptom reduction and wellness through a multimodality approach consisting of neurofeedback, microcurrent neuromodulation, and heart rate variability (HRV) training combined with humanistic/relationship focused talk therapy. 

Many of the issues that people struggle with such as anxiety, depression, ADD, and OCD have predictable brain signatures that can be mapped out with the use of EEG technology.  And this is why Tristam considers EEG technology so compelling as a tool to help move the needle for the presenting problems his clients experience. EEG enables the ability to look “under the hood”, at brain markers directly, to assess brain functioning and corresponding symptom presentation.  Furthermore, he utilizes this technology as a tool to guide the brain back in the direction of healthy functioning. The result is a subjective experience of symptom reduction, improved wellness, and greater resilience.     

 While Tristam brings a lot of professional training and skill to his work, he likes to connect foremost with his clients from a place of shared humanity.  He has found that it is a potent combination to have objective brain data and cutting edge BCI technology employed within a genuine and non-judgmental therapeutic context.
