EMDR Trainer CompassionWorks

I am available to meet with therapy clients on a limited basis, every other week. Contact email.

As an EMDR therapist, I help people explore and identify their life-themes that are constantly running in the background. These themes are represented intrinsically by “neural networks” that are developed in the formative years and reinforced and played out over a lifetime. They are the source of PTSD symptoms such as anxiety and stress and are disruptive to having a life well-lived.  As these emotional patterns are identified, we then use EMDR processing to help resolve them.  Sometimes this can be accomplished in a few sessions, but most often it takes longer.

I teach people the skill of tuning into their “felt-sense,” staying with their emotions, and learning to regulate their feelings and emotions.  This is a great way to live in the present moment, responding in “real-time” to what is currently happening, as opposed to reacting to a contrived reality constructed in the mind that is being played out in apparent “real-life.”

For people who want to work with me, I encourage them to buy, read and do, The Presence Process by Michael Brown.  We can then use that as a way to guide our sessions and the work we do.

I help people see and experience life from a different perspective.  After all, you can’t use what got you into your current situation, to get you out of it.
