I practice a unique blend of psychodynamic talk therapy and EMDR based on each person's unique goals and needs.
The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself and open to the world. In my practice, I have seen countless times how a strong patient-therapist relationship can be a life-changing resource. I'm deeply invested in understanding why you're in my office today—whether due to dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, or a bleak self-image—while simultaneously helping you locate the more capable and resourceful parts of your identity. My style is warm, curious but also candid and direct. I trust that my patients have come to me because they can handle (and need) honesty.

I incorporate EMDR, a technique for resolving disturbing traumatic memories for those who are troubled by them.
How can we make deeper changes when we are trying to manage unusual pain, or are just handling our day-to-day suffering? When we feel safe and accepted as we are, we can challenge ourselves to grow, and to encounter others in an authentic way. I aim to create, with you, a safe place where we get to know your habitual patterns of behaving and relating, and explore less familiar sides of you that may offer surprising possibilities for thinking, feeling, relating and living. How can deepening awareness enliven, balance, support, un-stick, sustain or change your life? Let's find out!

Our beliefs and assumptions about the world inform our feelings, which in turn, influences our behavior. Many of those assumptions however are not entirely our own, or even in our conscious awareness. They come from our parents, communities, traumatic experiences, or a less developed version of ourself. Living a life that does not reflect our authentic values often results in inner conflict that negatively spills outward into our intimate, familial, and professional relationships. Taking time to explore what thoughts and values belong to our authentic selves, is one of the most important gifts an individual can give to themselves.

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.
