My work as a clinical social worker, in a supportive environment, is to help you find and implement solutions to the challenges that you are facing in your life

I specialize in offering Eye Movment Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR is higly efficetive in addressing and resolving a recent or distant trauma that you have experienced. I use a focused and client centered model and involve you actively in the planning and implementation of the therapy.

I am focused and clear in both the assessment and in the development of your specific EMDR treatment plan. Memories are scaled from 0 to 10 and the goal is to reduce each distressing memory to: " zero, neutral or no distress". This is a supported and therapist facilitated process, with the client in charge of the successful treatment.
