ABOUT THE THERAPIST
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience. Initially trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, in recent years I have specialized in the treatment of trauma and gone on to become a trauma therapist. Having trained in SE (Somatic Experiencing), I am a SEP (SE Practitioner), as well as a Provider and Supervisor for SE students. I am also a certified EMDR practitioner.
Taking into account client needs and preferences, I offer a unified mind-body therapy based on psychodynamic, EMDR and SE principles. This approach is effective in the regulation and management of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and psychophysiological disorders. My practice is gay-friendly, and I have professional experience with people building a family via donor insemination.
