EMDRIA Certified EMDR Clinician, Approved Consultant

I work with individuals, families, and couples coping with a wide range of issues including:

Marital and relationship concerns, divorce, premarital counseling, intimacy, sex and desire issues, blended family adjustments, codependency, co-parenting, infidelity, trauma, grief, love-loss, depression, self esteem, anxiety, and life stage adjustments. I have facilitated addiction and eating disorder groups as well as experiential teen adventure groups. I am a certified EMDR clinician which is a modality used to treat many persistent concerns including but not limited to PTSD, phobias, anxieties, panic attacks, attachment issues, depression, performance anxiety, love loss, chronic pain, behavioral addictions, eating disorders, past and recent trauma. I have a special interest in working with dissociative disorders, co-dependency, trauma and the impact of these presentations on relationships. I work from a Bowenian frame informed by structural family systems with attachment and ego-state interventions. Aspects of mindfulness, meditation and somatic experience are part of my approach.
