I have been practicing for 20 years . I particularly love to work with young adult and adult women that have had family of origin attachment/trauma as well as symptoms of Anxiety, Depression. EMDR is my primary therapeutic tool. In conjunction with EMDR, I utilize Polyvagal principles, Ego State therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
