I have over 30 years experience working with adult and adolescent clients, providing individual, couples and family therapy. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, insight-oriented and family systems techniques.
I offer short term consultation for those who want to discuss an issue or situation and get feedback. Clients may use the session for problem solving, gaining insight or exploring options. This service is for people who don’t wish to engage in therapy.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful method of psychotherapy that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress.
In 1987, psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro made the chance observation that eye movements can reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts, under certain conditions. Dr. Shapiro studied this effect scientifically, and in a 1989 issue of the Journal of Traumatic Stress, she reported success using EMDR to treat victims of trauma.
Since then, EMDR has developed and evolved through the contributions of therapists and researchers all over the world. Today, EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches.
