You may have been to therapy before, or perhaps you’ve never been – either way, this section is for you. No two therapists are alike, and if you’re new to EMDR therapy, then you will definitely find a uniqueness to my therapeutic approach.

A few of my guiding principles:

• This is your time – the focus is on you and what you’re bringing in this day.

• I bring no agenda; I listen, and I help direct when needed.

• I answer questions clearly and thoroughly. I don’t brush your concerns aside. I make room for the conversations you need to have.

• I bring warmth and compassion to my work.

• The timeline is yours. I will encourage setting the right pace, letting go of pressure, and approaching our work thoughtfully and with clarity. And I balance this with ensuring we have a momentum that keeps us on track for accomplishing your goals.

• Mine is a values-driven approach – YOUR values drive the work.

Session Times
Each session may be 50 minutes, 80 minutes, or 110 minutes, depending on your identified needs and goals. EMDR therapy lends itself to a longer intensive format, which can allow a person to cover or ‘reprocess’ more per session.

As I mention in my About Me, the prime modality I use is EMDR, while also relying on several other adjunct approaches. These are all heavily grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion. I have a full bag of tricks for you, because I am invested in helping you find your internal light that illuminates the right perspective and the right path for you.
