I provide trauma therapy and marriage therapy. Let's start with trauma. Usually, mental health complaints are understandable given a client's life history. EMDR therapy directly addresses the effect of traumatic events on mental health. You can learn more about EMDR below, and on my blog (top right). As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and EMDR Institute Facilitator, I assist with the training and development of EMDR therapists nationwide. I am a clinical member of EMDRIA and AAMFT. Check out emdr.com.
​
When providing marriage therapy (either as a unique service, or as part of preparation for trauma therapy), I use Gottman Method, which is the only marriage therapy created from research, rather than someone's idea. It's an energetic, positive therapy that men and women equally like, focused on building skills for conflict management as quickly as possible, and building other positive habits, rather than the ineffective practice of refereeing a fight once per week.

TREATING TRAUMA: WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR is a powerful therapy that can heal even the most complex trauma-related disorders, in combination with other approaches. It is the recommended PTSD therapy of the World Health Organization, and is used by the DOD and VA. EMDR is validated by over 80 scientific studies.

EMDR is different. It does not involve "re-living" past events or becoming "numb." EMDR activates the natural power of the mind to reprocess memories into the past, which is like the relief you feel when a nightmare ends and you start a new day.
