Areas of Expertise

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I utilize EMDR to help my clients heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and brings them to an adaptive resolution. After utilizing EMDR with a client affective stress is relieved, negative beliefs are changed and physiological symptoms are reduced.

Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)

I utilize TRM when working with clients that are experiencing traumatic stress reactions. Using a mind-body approach, TRM introduces a paradigm shift in the treatment of trauma, whereby symptoms are treated as normal biological responses rather than pathological or mental weaknesses. In this way, TRM can function as both a model for trauma reprocessing treatment as well as self-care.

Brainspotting

I utilize Brainspotting as a tool, within this clinical relationship, to neurobiologically locate, focus, process, and release experiences and symptoms that are typically out of reach of the conscious mind and its cognitive and language capacity. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.
