About Me

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist as well as a Consultant In Training and have been practicing EMDR professionally since 2015. I also bring a holistic perspective from my training and experience in traditional naturopathy, yoga, Tai Chi, hypnotherapy, HeartMath, and energy tapping and have helped many clients resolve trauma and reclaim their lives successfully. I am now approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) to offer individual & group consultation to those completing initial Basic Training in EMDR as well as pursuing Certification. 10 hours of consultation is required for Basic Training, while 20 hours of consultation is required for Certification. As a Holistic Psychotherapist, I have a unique delivery method of EMDR that enhances the original model...adding greater safety, reducing harm that can occur from re-experiencing and abreactions, and deepening the client's preparation and ultimate success using holistic technologies to stabilize the ego, increase self-soothing & stress management coping skills, and build confidence to engage with difficult material. Note: while therapy is in-person or via video, all consultation sessions are conducted via distance/video technology, using either free HIPAA-compliant VSee videoconferencing software or Zoom (especially for group sessions).
