I believe that each person can improve, and strongly believe in a judgment-free, therapeutic setting; my clients should get something out of every therapy session. I view issues through the trauma-sensitive lens of EMDR, which is the Adaptive Information Processing Model. I have developed a variety of tools to assist my clients in reaching their goals. My therapeutic work focuses heavily on EMDR techniques and principles.
I focus on relaxation techniques, imagery, and work to develop coping skills and stress management techniques that can be utilized in every day settings to improve quality of life. I am skilled in providing treatment for trauma, abuse, PTSD, OCD, depression, grief, anxiety and mood disorders, as well as many other issues.
I am a licensed psychologist in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. My formal education includes a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Penn State University and a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Slippery Rock University. I am a certified EMDR Therapist trained in the FLASH technique, am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and adolescents and have completed formal training for Exposure, Response Prevention for OCD and Anxiety. I also have specialized training in psychological testing and the assessment. I strongly believe that EMDR has much to offer my clients and can provide superior progress in less time, and with less distress than typical talk therapies. I have taken a great deal of advanced training in EMDR and am also an EMDRIA Approved Consultant for trained EMDR therapists seeking certification or consultation. I am trained in The Progressive Approach, (Dolores Mosquera), Somatic Focused EMDR ( Craig Penner, Natural Processing) , and Personality Disorders ( Dolores Mosquera) . I work with complex trauma and dissociation. I respect and honor my client's wishes and am able to provide the type of therapy they request, including talk therapy and CBT.
