One or more traumas can lead to chronic anxiety and depression, as well as problems with thinking and functioning. EMDR is a ground-breaking treatment technique which has helped many victims of trauma, including first responders affected by the tragic attacks in Oklahoma City and New York, Vietnam and Iraq service veterans, and victims of violent crimes and domestic abuse. Many who have suffered single or repeated trauma in childhood have been helped by their treatment with EMDR. For more information on this highly effective approach, go to www.emdria.org.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional distress and personal suffering. Building a collaborative relationship in therapy is the single most important factor in therapeutic success. This relationship will be the keystone for facilitating your personal growth and understanding of yourself not just intellectually, but also emotionally. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try.

Through experiencing the freedom of talking in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we liberate powerful emotional states that help to make deep and lasting changes. When fully understood, painful psychological symptoms dissolve over time.
