About

My work as a clinical social worker, in a supportive environment, is to help you find and implement solutions to the challenges that you are facing in your life I specialize in offering Eye Movment Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR is higly efficetive in addressing and resolving a recent or distant trauma that you have experienced. I use a focused and client centered model and involve you actively in the planning and implementation of the therapy. Please call or send me an email if you would like to explore the possibility of working with me. Change begins with the fist step that you take. I have been an EMDR therapist for twenty six years and provide training in both the United State and internationally. Specialties: I am focused and clear in both the assessment and in the development of your specific EMDR treatment plan. Memories are scaled from 0 to 10 and the goal is to reduce each distressing memory to: " zero, neutral or no distress". This is a supported and therapist facilitated process, with the client in charge of the successful treatment. Credentials & Experience: I have 26 years of experience as an EMDR therapist and 17 years experience as an EMDR Senior Trainer both in the USA and internationally. I work with complex trauma and develop a specific EMDR treatment plan with you, that guides your healing process.

"I have 26 years of advanced experience with EMDR therapy, both as a therapist and trainer. My work has been both in the United States and internationally. In October of 2024, I provided pro bono, advanced EMDR training to EMDR therapists in Lviv, Ukraine."
