I am a certified consultant in EMDR and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious with life or a relationship? Or more shut down or depressed? Unable to keep up with your daily routine? Patterns develop while growing up in our families of origin that no longer work or produce symptoms. We work on understanding those attachment patterns historically and in the present in order to reflect and change them. I teach tools to help people process the energy from feeling states in their nervous systems so a wider range of feelings can be experienced without flooding or shutting down. Then we reprocess the traumatic memories that feed the symptoms.

Using EMDR therapy, I guide you in overcoming trauma, breaking unhelpful patterns, and improving relationships.
Success often comes at a personal cost. As an executive, entrepreneur, or leader, you’ve mastered the art of staying composed and performing under pressure. But behind the scenes, the stress of carrying so much responsibility can take a toll. Whether it’s the lingering effects of childhood struggles, strained personal relationships, or feeling disconnected from the life you’ve worked so hard to build, the cracks in your armor may be showing. If you’re tired of holding it all together while feeling alone, it’s time for a change.

A recent focus is using IFS informed EMDR as well as Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to treat trauma.
A great psychiatrist needs to combine clinical and scientific expertise with empathy and curiosity about people and their troubles. Throughout my career, I have been fascinated with how each of us develop our unique personal style of coping with a life that will inevitably bring problems in love, work, and relationships. If you or your loved one suffers from problems with mood, anxiety, attention, or seems stuck in a pattern of maladaptive behavior, I will work with you to identify the cause and find a solution.

I use an eclectic approach but specifically the lenses and modalities of Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and Reiki as well as offer my clients the option of medications to help them move forward.
How to get relief from anxiety, depression, insomnia, distractibility, grief, and the other negative feelings is not something we learn in school. It is not often discussed in our household or in the workplace, yet there are social expectations that we should just manage and keep going despite the often paralyzing shame that comes with realizing we need support. I hope to offer a safe space where we can better understand these feelings and how it is affecting the way we live, love, and relate.

I use a range of therapeutic modalities including EMDR, CBT, and DBT.
My goal is to create an environment that is comfortable, empathetic, safe, and non-judgmental. My approach is informed by my work as a public interest attorney and witnessing the ways in which many aspects of life (housing, work, economic security, racial identity, gender identity, and sexuality) impact mental health. I take a strength-based approach that is client-centered and work with clients to determine what tools work best for them at the time. Healing is not always linear. I hope to create a space that feels supportive no matter where a person is in their journey.

EMDR Psychiatrists
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.
