My Approach:
Therapy is a commitment of your time and energy. Both of those should be well spent. I work with the most innovating treatments that are fully supported by neuroscience. By using evidence based therapies, treatment is gentle yet highly effective.
I truly believe that people have the innate ability to heal. It is hardwired. I work to enhance the strength that is can get lost or overwhelmed by life's difficulties. I have heard people state that "therapy has not worked for me" and I have witnessed how effective treatments have helped people live the life they desire.
I am an EMDRIA approved international consultant. I am also a trauma and dissociation informed therapist and consultant. I offer trainings to therapists and have recently c0-authored a journal article on OCD. I enjoy providing clinical consultation for therapists who are working toward EMDR certification as well as those who are not EMDR trained.
Personally, I am an avid cook, joyous parent of both children and dogs. I love the outdoors, especially skiing and hiking.
