Carl Rogers famously said that to be eligible for one of his groups you had to be a person. Well said, Carl! I also want to work with persons (typically adolescents and adults) who wish to be healthier and happier. Curiosity about what is possible is a plus but not required. If I resort to using the word "trauma", it's going to give the wrong idea. I tend to work with people who are tired of being held back by their past experiences and desire more from life. I want my clients to be less bound, more joyful and more creative. I see how EMDR unburdens people and how IFS enhances explorations and possibilities of one's interior world.

It is tough to be happy while feeling unsafe; unresolved trauma can tell you that you are unsafe nearly all the time. EMDR addresses this problem. Clients often describe being free of a burden, one that they have been carrying for a long time. By contrast, clients of IFS often report a much deeper appreciation of themselves and of personal possibilities.

Why is it that-when we see someone we know walking into the gym-we say, "Wow, she must be in good shape!" but-when we see her walking into a therapist's office-we say, "Wow, she must be in bad shape!"? Like physical exercise, psychotherapy works; it tends to make you healthier if you put some time in. And, yes, it can be fun. Here's your invitation to try.

Specialties and Expertise

Expertise

Trauma and PTSD

My work with a client is an exploration of an internal world, its history, habitations and strengths for healing. I am curious about the ways a person has been changed by their most trying life experiences. What adaptations has this person made? I use EMDR and IFS to focus the client's natural capacities to heal. The brass ring here is more knowledge of what is possible and more freedom to choose.

Types of Therapy

EMDR
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I use EMDR and IFS to enable psychological healing. The early sessions include an assessment with a focus on the client's most difficult experiences. The goal of EMDR is processing disturbing memories so that they are no longer burdensome. IFS adds an exploration of the ways a person has already adapted to their life experiences. The goal is self-knowledge and enjoyment of a freer and fuller life.
