I combine a variety of therapy modalities, including EMDR, Gestalt and Schema therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative therapy, and Psychodrama, to help individuals resolve their mental health conflicts and overcome their maladaptive thinking and unhealthy coping behaviors.
Unresolved childhood trauma, neglect, and attachment disorders can turn into long-lasting mental health challenges well into adulthood. Without proper treatment and support, childhood adversities can lead to feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness, helplessness, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, and a range of other maladaptive and compulsive addictive behaviors in adulthood. Addressing childhood adversities through effective therapies can empower individuals to overcome their mental health challenges and have a chance of living a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I specialize in EMDR. I work primarily online with trauma, anxiety and grief. My clients are usually seeking EMDR for their therapeutic modality. It works so well that they begin to notice change within the first few sessions. Anxiety, fear, “monkey mind” etc. lessens and they get relief. They learn to use these skills for sleep problems, grief related issues and to calm themselves when angry or overwhelmed. They are seeking relief from invasive symptoms that make their lives harder and less joyful. Their hearts often “crack open”with love when they move from their heads to a more heart centered awareness.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
