I specialize in treating people who have unresolved issues involving traumatic or painful experiences. The technique I use, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), has a wide spectrum of applications. It has been used to successfully treat over a million individuals who have survived painful, traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, domestic violence and grief/loss issues. This technique promotes deep healing and shortens ones time in therapy.
