About Me

I've been in love with Bowen theory for over 40 years, and EMDR therapy for over 20. I've integrated the two for 20 years, developing an integrative Bowen and EMDR (iBE) protocol for individuals and groups. To introduce both lay readers and professionals to my integration, I wrote a self-help book, "When I Do Relationships SO RIGHT How Do They Go SO WRONG." Currently I'm completing research on helping parents of special needs children, in a group setting, to process their trauma concerning their children. And on the horizon is a large study using the iBE protocol in a group setting.
