I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including traditional talk therapy from a relational psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral perspective, as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This integrated style provides more than temporary symptom management. It facilitates deep, enduring change that fosters stronger connections with yourself and those around you. About half of my practice incorporates EMDR. I’m happy to discuss ways EMDR might be helpful to you.
My treatment approach also incorporates training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I teach skills and promote ways of coping with intense emotions so that people can approach interpersonal and internal conflicts more effectively.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. If you've experienced events that continue to affect your daily life—whether recent or from years ago—EMDR can help you process these memories in a healthier way, so that you’re not experiencing the pain in the present.
During EMDR sessions, you'll focus on difficult experiences and reprocess events, reducing their emotional impact and allowing healing. Unlike more traditional “talk therapy”, you won't need to share every detail of your experience, making EMDR accessible even when memories feel too painful to discuss or when experiences are unclear or “murky”.
EMDR is recognized by leading mental health organizations as highly effective for PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and grief. Many clients notice significant improvement relatively quickly, feeling less triggered by past events and more able to engage fully in their present lives.
