I am glad you found my website. I am a licensed psychotherapist who will help you work through what is troubling you, including trauma, depression, mid-life issues, and addiction (including addiction to alcohol, drugs, food, spending, and the internet, to name just some of the ways we can become addicted). Together we will work to free you from the anxiety and painful feelings that proliferate when coping with challenging life experiences.
Often challenges in the present stem from unresolved difficulties and trauma in the past. I offer a safe, warm and confidential environment where together we can explore what's confronting you. We may look back at childhood issues or engage with current dynamics, or both. Through talking, and through powerful interventions like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we will incorporate whatever means best suit your particular needs.
I am a Certified Therapist in EMDR, which is a highly effective protocol for healing trauma of all kinds.

Services
I am a certified psychoanalytic psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker with a second master's degree in transpersonal psychology.
In addition to my traditional psychodynamic therapy practice, I am also a Certified Therapist in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
I work with adults, individually and in couples and families.
I help my clients move from painful and unrewarding repetitive patterns to significant and sustainable life change.
To do this work, we address those coping mechanisms, often borne of trauma, that get in the way of progress, including addictive behaviors and depression.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) appears to have a direct effect on how the brain processes information.
Through the use of bi-lateral stimulation (via eye movement, hand-held sensors, tapping, or sounds - alternating left to right) a successful EMDR session can significantly speed up the processing of traumatic events and diminish disturbing emotions, physiological experiences and negative beliefs associated with those events.
EMDR does not make your traumatic experiences and painful memories disappear: you still remember them, yet they are no longer control your life the way they did before the treatment.

EMDR is best known for helping to heal the results of both severe "big T" trauma, ie one-time traumatic events such as accidents, violence or natural disaster; or "small t" trauma, which is a series of less obvious but equally damaging consistent trauma, such as that experienced growing up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional family, or being in an abusive adult relationship.
Most people in these categories of trauma will benefit from EMDR.
However, many people do not actively consider themselves to have suffered trauma, yet they experience the "stuckness" and inability to move on often associated with unresolved traumatic experience.
