Practicing Since: 2012
I work with adults of all ages but I especially seem to be a good fit with middle aged to older adults. My origins as a couples therapist started in 2003 when I worked as a layperson providing premarital counseling in Dubai. That was so fun! My couples then were from all over the world and had all sorts of backgrounds. I continue to love working with diversity, be it people who identify as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC or folks from other countries. Since 2012, I've been providing EMDR--so effective!
Specialties
In my work with people I draw from a background in numerous models. With couples I utilize Gottman principles, attachment styles, personality indicators (Myers Briggs and the Enneagram), Prepare/Enrich, Burns, Fruzetti (DBT), and various other authors including Terry Real, and Nagoski (plus more for intimacy and sexual wellness). And my work with individuals includes Compassion-Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT and Gestalt Therapy.
I began my training with EMDR in 2012 and since then have taken many continuing education courses plus I have attended many sessions of in person EMDR study groups with other clinicians. I call EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) my "weird and magical" therapy. I do resourcing styles of EMDR, work with distressing memories, and EMDR for OCD. Because I primarily use the Flash Technique for work with disturbing memories, I find that the work I do is quite effective on telehealth.
