My Approach
Clients can expect an approach with elements of warmth, understanding, and attunement. For clients seeking to heal from the effects of adverse life experiences, I am an EMDRA-certified practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (“EMDR”).
I help clients who find themselves repeating patterns they are unable to break on their own by using a combination of talk therapy and EMDR.
By the end of our time spent, clients feel a deeper sense of connection to themselves and can navigate the world with a sense of agency and purpose despite the continuous external noise.

EMDR Processing Session
During the desensitization sessions, we will be processing each event identified in the “map” from our initial session using bilateral processing techniques and body scans.
