What an honor to be able to provide a safe, confidential place for healing to unfold. Helping to bring EMDR to survivors in the following disaster areas has shown me the healing power of the human spirit and the gift of EMDR to the world: Tsunami survivers in Sri Lanka, hurricane Katrina survivors in New Orleans, survivors of floods in Bangladesh, and earthquake survivors in Turkey. Healing is possible for all of us.
Specialty Areas: Trauma, Grief/Loss, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, EMDR
I believe in the health and wisdom within every client.
