About

Do you know where you’re going and how to get there? For many of my clients, a funny—not ha-ha—thing happened on the way to living the dream. Anxiety that started in teen years or earlier didn’t evaporate with the first wins of adult life. The excitement wore off. The luster of the job dulled in the glare of tyrant or bully. The partner—if you found or kept one—triggered scenes from parents focused on their own battles, not yours. You shouldered it then. You escaped. But it’s back. And if there are kids, you worry you will saddle them with what feels broken in you. My clients tell me I’m easy to talk to. They appreciate that the work goes beyond talk and safely into ways of surviving the depths of distress. Using EMDR, they work through things never before allowed into words—all with the help of a relaxed, open atmosphere, a place where unthinkable thoughts can be thought, and unfeelable feelings can be felt.
