About Me

I'm an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and Certified EMDR Therapist, and cofounder of the Buffalo EMDR Training Institute. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment wounds — the places where standard approaches often stall.
EMDR is central to my work, and I bring particular depth with dissociative presentations and clients carrying layered, developmental trauma. I'm currently researching the integration of psycholytic ketamine doses with EMDR for dissociative clients, as well as exploring EMDR as a gateway to non-ordinary states of consciousness through default mode network modulation.
My clinical approach integrates EMDR with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, ACT, and Buddhist psychology. KAP is the heart of my current practice — therapist-led, spiritually integrated sessions where clients safely access expanded states of awareness to process what talk therapy alone often can't reach.
I also mentor and consult with therapists in EMDR, integrative trauma treatment, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. My style is collaborative, direct, warm, and deeply human.
