Individual Psychotherapy, EMDR & Specialized Services

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen”, Brené Brown.

Individual Psychotherapy

I work with teens and adults of all ages, helping people develop into their full potential as quickly as possible, overcoming problematic symptoms, behaviors, relationship issues, and other obstacles interfering with their ability to live healthy, happy, meaningful lives.

We can all benefit from individual therapy, whether to resolve symptoms that are limiting our quality of life, or to help us reach our dreams. If you have the courage and willingness to reach out for help, I would be honored to join you in a healing journey to achieve your goals. I have over 35 years of experience and advanced training in cutting-edge treatment approaches that enable me to efficiently identify and resolve core issues, allowing for deep, lasting transformation.

The path toward the wonderful life that awaits you is just a phone call or an email away. I provide a safe, compassionate therapeutic relationship in which you can move toward greater health and well-being in all aspects of your life.

EMDR Therapy: (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):

I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Certified EMDR therapist, and Facilitator for EMDR Professional Training. EMDR is a very effective form of psychotherapy that helps people naturally and efficiently resolve symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing experiences and trauma. I have been practicing EMDR therapy since 1995, when I was trained by the founder of EMDR, Dr. Francine Shapiro. EMDR therapy enables us to tap into the natural healing power of the brain to process unresolved trauma, moving toward health and well-being.

Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST):

I am a certified TIST therapist. This compassionate approach, developed by Dr. Janina Fisher, helps people understand and heal the traumatized parts of self that have been carrying disturbing emotions, thoughts, and body sensations for years. Bringing support, appreciation, and acceptance to these parts is stabilizing and deeply healing, promoting self-compassion and resilience.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR):

I am trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a trauma therapy developed by Dr. Frank Corrigan. It works with the deep brain and body responses that occur when we experience overwhelming events, threats, or disruptions in important relationships. By gently tracking these early physical responses, DBR helps the brain process unresolved traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.

Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS):

I have extensive training in DNMS, a safe, nurturing approach to identifying and healing the deepest aspects of self that keep us stuck in unwanted behaviors, beliefs and emotions. As healing progresses, a wide range of psychological, behavioral, and relational symptoms and issues diminish naturally. Please refer to DNMSInstitute.org for more information.

Brainspotting:

My training in Brainspotting allows me to use this treatment approach to tap into the body’s innate ability to heal, in order to resolve trauma, negative beliefs and emotional distress.
