I have been a therapist dealing with people with trauma and PTSD for the past 35 years. I am an EMDR-certified practitioner with a passion for working with people to heal past wounds, emotional injuries, traumatic memories, and experiences.  

​

Sometimes traumatic memories get stuck in our brains with the original thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as when the traumatic event occurred. Often as time goes on we think that we have left the past behind and then something unexpected triggers us and we go right back into “trauma time” with a surge of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and fear as we experience in the past.  That is usually an excellent indicator that EMDR therapy is indicated which will help you reprocess the traumatic event/s and move forward with your life.  The goal is not to erase the memory but to reduce the distress significantly from the event and see it through a different lens. After this has been accomplished you will be able to move beyond the memories and function at a much higher level than you could ever imagine.

 

In addition to EMDR, I am also an advanced practitioner of EFT (emotional freedom technique) and have an all-virtual practice in NJ.
