I am co-director with my wife, Deany Laliotis, of the EMDR therapy training program, The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy, Inc. We have trained many of the EMDR therapists listed on the Psychology Today DC/MD/VA website as well as therapists around the world. I specialize in the treatment of stress, anxiety, and difficulties related to normal life-cycle challenges. I have been practicing EMDR since it's introduction 30 years ago and I am offering services to clients who might benefit from brief EMDR therapy.
EMDR is a well-researched method of psychotherapy which utilizes the innate growth and healing mechanisms of the human nervous system. In addition to EMDR, I have extensive training in psychodynamic, somatic, gestalt, hypnotherapy, couples and family therapy which I integrate in my clinical work.
I offer reduced-fee treatment to combat veterans, police, fire, and EMTs experiencing stress difficulties related to their prior or present work situations. Contact me to discuss.
