I am a Certified EMDR Therapist who uses EMDR and other proven techniques including integrative, interpersonal therapy, and hypnosis. EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

I help clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness, chronic pain, medical trauma, problems stemming from difficult childhood experiences, attachment issues, dissociation, and dissociative identity disorder. I use EMDR to offer smoking cessation assistance.

EMDR based therapy for chronic pain is effective in many cases of low back pain, migraine, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, whiplash, irritable bowel syndrome, and sexual pain disorder. Other types of pain may respond favorably, as well.

Before becoming a therapist I gained over 30 years of healthcare experience as a registered nurse, which adds depth to my understanding of the interplay between emotions and the body. This knowledge is helpful in cases of medical trauma, chronic illness and chronic pain. I am licensed by the Ohio CSWMFT Board and am a Certified EMDR Therapist, by EMDRIA.
