How my practice works
I maintain a limited caseload of no more than 15 clients at a time, and I see no more than 8 clients per week.
My practice is intentionally small, focused, and grounded in evidence-based trauma care. This structure allows me to practice EMDR therapy with the depth, precision, and clinical attention in requires.
EMDR is a structured, research-supported approach to trauma reprocessing.
EMDR is not a technique I apply casually. It depends on careful pacing, strong therapeutic attunement, and adequate integration between sessions.
My work is informed by current empirical research in psychology, trauma, attachment, and EMDR.
I engage in ongoing professional education and remain attentive to emerging findings related to trauma memory, nervous system regulation, and treatment outcomes. This ensures that the care I provide reflects contemporary standards rather than outdated or purely trend-driven approaches.
The intention is to get you back to regular life as soon as possible.
I work with a clear therapeutic arc in mind. While every person's healing process is different, for many clients meaningful trauma reprocessing and stabilization occurs within 3 - 6 months. The intention is to support clients in doing this work and then returning to their lives with greater capacity, resilience, and self-trust.
Consistency is an important factor to EMDR therapy
To support the most effective trauma reprocessing, clients are encouraged to attend sessions at least once every 2 weeks. Spacing sessions too far apart can interrupt momentum and integration.
