Specialties
I completed EMDR basic training, and have further training in using EMDR for addictions, and in using EMDR to treat complex trauma and dissociation.
I often work with clients using EFT-based “empty chair” and/or “two-chair” techniques; these techniques are evidence-based and have demonstrated decrease in depression, anxiety, combating perfectionist tendencies, and improved ability to respond to self-criticism with self-compassion.
Self-criticism, self-contempt, and even self-hate are commonly associated with depression. I use EFT-based experiential exercises such as empty-chair dialogues with self-critical parts to bring these conflicts into the light in the therapy session, the goal being to help clients develop internal strengths to respond to internalized negative self-treatment.
