About

I am accepting new clients as of MAY 1, 2026 for VIRTUAL psychotherapy and EMDR. I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. I am a specialist in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) AND a Certified EMDR clinician, certified by emdria International. I have been trained by one of the founders of Attachment Focused EMDR, Dr. Laurel Parnell. If you are stuck in life, you have found the right psychotherapist. EMDR requires experience, skill and creative talent. I have over 25 years if experience! If you have been in therapy before but still feel stuck or have new issues you want to work on, then my practice is a good place to start. I am a motivational therapist-we work together and I will offer homework and assignments as needed. I have 26 years of experience as a psychodynamic therapist and 15 years of practice as an EMDR clinician. Specialties: I have extensive experience using EMDR and was trained over a decade ago by Attachment Specialist and Founder, Laurel Parnell. Credentials & Experience: I am a Certified EMDR Trauma Clinician, certified by Emdria International. EMDR is an ART and an empirically validated treatment modality.

"I am a classically trained psychotherapist using an analytic approach. You must understand how, when and why your symptoms originated and only then can we begin the process of deactivating those symptoms. Yes, this is a commitment to longer term work."
