About Me
I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and Approved Consultant with a specialty in complex/developmental trauma, substance abuse, military vets & first responders, and nature-based EMDR. I am the author of the only published article (so far) discussing the direct integration of EMDR and fly-fishing. Along with virtual and in-office visits, I hold nature-based therapy sessions, specializing in Therapeutic Fly-fishing with EMDR (TF-EMDR)℠, in Vermont and anywhere else that I am licensed (ME, NH, MA, IA, and CA). Additionally, I am an EMDRIA Credit provider and can offer continuing education for any EMDR therapists who wish to learn Therapeutic Fly-fishing with EMDR (TF-EMDR)℠. If you are a client, whether you want to improve mental health, physical health, productivity, creativity, or relationships - I have seen many of clients alleviate long-standing struggles/challenges after only a handful of sessions. Using Attachment-Focused EMDR, inner child/ego state therapy, polyvagal approaches (including iRest yoga nidra, HeartMath, Safe & Sound Protocol), energy psychology & complementary approaches, we will access your natural ability to heal and change. I am an OEF veteran and am familiar with the ups and downs of the human experience. In the center of all of it, though, we have an opportunity to connect with desire and find our truest selves. When we see that self with sincerity and understanding, we can experience freedom. Let's talk.
