About Me

I focus mostly on providing short-term EMDR therapy for acute trauma, such as birth trauma. I have also received advanced training in The Flash Technique. I own a small group practice with other therapists who are also trained in EMDR. While they are not fully certified, I provide consultation to the therapists in my practice. One is a South Asian Muslim woman, and one is a bilingual (Spanish/English) Hispanic Male who also works with teens and addiction. www.shiftcounselingpc.com
