I am an experienced psychologist providing brief and long-term psychotherapy and crisis intervention to individual adults. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, separation and divorce, loss and grief, life transitions, relational issues, among others. I am a Certified EMDR practitioner and an Approved Consultant. EMDR is a specialized therapy for symptom relief and the processing of stress reactions/trauma, whether experienced from the distant past or more recently. I am a facilitator for Laurel Parnell's Attachment Focused-EMDR trainings. In addition, I am a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a facilitator of SE trainings. I provide Consultation to Licensed Professionals. I am a respectful and careful listener with an eclectic approach to designing individual treatment plans that honor the goals that are important to you. I utilize psychodynamic, Attachment Focused-EMDR, somatic experiencing (SEP), and mindfulness. My work is collaborative and individually tailored. I provide a safe environment for exploration and change. Fees are individually determined. Please feel free to ask questions about therapy, treatment goals, and the therapeutic relationship. Initial sessions involve a thorough evaluation and history taking in order to learn about your background, symptoms, and reasons for beginning therapy. If appropriate, referrals to other health or medical professionals will be provided.
