About Me

EMDR is the primary focus of my practice with my clients and in my work with other professionals as they work toward certification. I have been utlizing EMDR as the primary modality of treatment for over 20 years.

EMDR is often seen as just an intervention without giving consideration to the other necessary components of the modality. I utilize the 8 phases OF EMDR to develop a relationship with my clients, build tools in their toolbox to prepare them for processing, fully assess their readiness to identify the target or focus of work and then proceed with "processing" as EMDR utilizing eye movement, tapping, music, or other chosen methods of BLS. My goal is never to overwhelm my clients and remain within the window of tolerance where their feelings, thoughts and body sensations remain tolerable.

I have active referral sources for and work with Ketamine providers to combine the two treatments and take advantage of the expanded neuroplasticity that is present. This intergrative treatment can increase the effectiveness of EMDR Therapy.

I dedicate a part of my practice to educating others thorugh consultation and training. I work with EMDR HAP and actively recruit interns to work within my practice.
