Since 1992, I have counseled families, adults and children. I am an EMDR Institute consultant and facilitator, and use EMDR therapy's adaptive information processing to help clients master the challenges encountered in their lives. I received my PhD in international psychology with trauma focus. My specialties include Trauma, Acculturation and Attachment Disorders in clients of all ages. My immigration experience from Germany has prompted the exploration of the crucial part played by our cultural roots in our decision making process and in our lifestyle choices. I speak English, Spanish and German.
When our innate capacity for healing gets overwhelmed by traumatic events, memory fragments haunt us in dreams and flash backs, because they were not completely integrated in our memory system. I help my clients re-kindling their own inner healing capacity with EMDR therapy.
