EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method of psychotherapy developed in the late 1980’s. It is recommended as an effective treatment of trauma by the American Psychiatric Association. It is one of the preferred treatments for trauma approved by the American Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense. 

The goal of EMDR therapy is to: clear traumatic experiences, understand your emotions, develop positive perspectives, and incorporate healthy and useful behaviors and interactions. 

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS)

The IFS Model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is not family therapy. The name refers to each person’s internal community, or “family” of parts. Very often, our internal systems become organized around emotional pain, and how to manage it. 

As an IFS therapist, I’ll work with you to: release pain, address concerns, resolve negative behaviors and restore your original joy in life. 

RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

It is important to nurture love, affection and tenderness – they foster pleasure and enriches committed relationships. When we fail to commit ourselves to repair, unable to see how old patterns of relating develop into anxious attachment, we are alone in our hurt and pain. It is possible to heal within a relationship and achieve a blissful connection. Bring your curiosity and willingness to explore the possibilities within your love relationship with a caring professional in the safety of my office.

I incorporate attachment theory, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in my couples sessions.
