Let’s Begin

  • 3 hour: $915

I specialize in trauma, attachment, and human development. Please see my About Me page for additional details regarding my specialty, training and approach.

At the beginning of our work together, I will create a personalized treatment plan that will outline your goals and objectives, and the interventions that I recommend for you. This will be created collaboratively where we will partner to identify what interventions best meet your needs, and the treatment plan will be provided to you.

My promise to all clients is to provide compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based care. I am committed to continued learning and growth, both professionally and personally, as I deeply know that, in order for me to support others, I must first ensure that I am supported in both my professional and personal development. 

Let’s discover this together. It is invaluable that you feel that your therapist is a good fit for you. That they feel safe, trustworthy, and competent. If you decide to schedule a consultation call or an initial session, I encourage you to consider these introductions as your own interview process to decide. If we conclude that I am not the right fit, I will support you through additional referral options.

EMDR addresses the psychological and physical symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences. EMDR is not just for trauma; it is also utilized for performance enhancement.

EMDR intensives allow the opportunity to progress through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without the interruption of a 50-minute session. An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because of time not spent on: a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.

Yes. Adjunct EMDR does not replace or interrupt ongoing therapy with your primary therapist. I will partner with both you and your therapist to identify specific targets for intensive treatment. You and I will identify what intensive format is best for you during your initial consultation.

  • Twenty-four randomized controlled trials support the positive effects of EMDR therapy in the treatment of emotional trauma and other adverse life experiences relevant to clinical practice.

  • Seven of 10 studies reported EMDR therapy to be more rapid and/or more effective than trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

  • Numerous other evaluations document that EMDR therapy provides relief from a variety of somatic complaints.

  • Twelve randomized studies of the eye movement component noted rapid decreases in negative emotions and/or vividness of disturbing images, with an additional 8 reporting a variety of other memory effects.
  • The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.

  • An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.

  • Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.

  • Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here.
