I have found an appropriate use of EMDR to enhance the work.
Although I have a certificate in psychoanalysis from NIP, my work is informed by the needs of the individual and I use various modalities in treatment. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, both recent and past, and have found that my EMDR training is very useful. Cognitive/Behavioral techniques are particularly helpful in working with clients who are experiencing anxiety or depression. In some instances medication might be helpful and we would discuss a referral to a psychiatrist. I am not doctrinaire, and work with a client to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

In particular, I provide CBT to reconstruct thought patterns and belief systems, EMDR therapy to transform trauma symptoms by targeting dysfunctional memories, and Motivational Interviewing to enhance decision making and goal realization.
Seeking therapy to make important life changes deserves tremendous respect. I have witnessed the inner power of the individual for transformation when offered individualized treatment in a collaborative therapeutic partnership. Extensive training in a variety of techniques and a flexible approach enables me to help clients take on areas of their life where they feel stuck. I believe a therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard, safe, and truly understood is the key to unlocking the hold of symptoms, relationship impasses, or bogged-down transitions.

I am trained in the following therapy Models: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Body-Centered Gestalt Therapy, EMDR and the Intuitive Healers Training Program.
Life often feels harder than it needs to. We have so many balls in the air, and constant juggling often leads to anxiety, self-doubt, and anger. It can be hard to be a good parent and spouse, to meet the expectations of friends colleagues and family, all while trying to meet our own needs. No wonder we find ourselves lost, unfulfilled and disconnected. If it seems like you don't know which way to turn, you've come to the right place.

Life happens and challenges come up. Maybe it's old stuff; issues from childhood that are having an impact now or a traumatic event that has not healed. Maybe it's brand new; grieving the loss of a relationship or struggling as a new mother. Maybe there is a feeling of being stuck and needing guidance and support to find a new way. My approach blends traditional psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to resolve current stress, release long-standing emotional and behavioral patterns and develop tools to use outside of therapy.

I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and specialize in the treatment of sexual trauma.
I'm a highly trained, intensely curious therapist - as comfortable with long stories as I am with total silence. I pay attention - with kindness, compassion and humor. Whoever you are, it's most likely true that you long for something, anything, to change. How on earth is this going to happen? It starts with curiosity - both yours and mine. You may come alone or with your partner. I am certified in evidence-based therapies for individuals and couples with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and all of life's transitions.

I use this as well as my years of experience and training in integrated trauma treatment, EMDR , and psychodynamic modalities to support you in your journey.
In my years of experience I have come to realize so much about living in the world robs us of our ability to acknowledge our own magic. Therapy should be a safe place for you to begin to reclaim that magic and learn how to discover your own power. By using a "bottom to top" approach to identify how long held, negative beliefs, have kept you reliving and repeating the past, you can finally live in the present. I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to work through trauma and reclaim the power inherent in you.

Life is learning. We all have obstacles to smoothly incorporating information into the way we live our lives. Behaving reasonably is easier said than done. The process of learning to live our lives well requires commitment, humility and openness. These qualities are cultivated within a trusted relationship. There are no shortcuts to an open mind. having worked extensively with children and adults, in school, clinic, day treatment and hospital settings, I'm best suited to treating children, parents, relationship issues, addiction issues and issues of narcissistic personalities. I have experience with EMDR , an excellent tool.

I am trained in EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) to address trauma and anxiety.
A satisfying life requires a balance between how much attention we pay to the external world (work, relationships, etc.) and the extent to which we attend to our internal, emotional world. This can be challenging because our culture favors focusing on external stimulus (relationship status, satisfying societal expectations, getting a job promotion, comparing our lives to Instagram highlight reels) over our vast internal worlds. It’s almost by design that we spend so much time focusing outside ourselves!

I have received post graduate training in EMDR , Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Advanced Clinical Practice in Trauma, Expressive Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems and sound healing.
While it is natural to respond to our new reality with fear or numbness you may feel stuck in those feelings. It is possible to become unstuck from the internal suffering. Together, we will be curious about emotional and psychological patterns, anxiety, depression or relationship issues to establish new boundaries, feel empowered and affirm your own rhythm, even during these challenging times. As people do this profound work, they report a greater sense of aliveness, increased creative flow, and their relationship with themselves and others feels more meaningful.

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.
