Niche Specialty©: Counseling and recovery from the emotional problems

emotional, sexual or physical abuse.
Location: Totem Lake neighborhood near I-405 and NE 116th Street.

relationship problems, as well as emotional trauma related to abuse or from accidents or other painful life experiences.
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and use EMDR as a therapeutic strategy to accelerate the processing of blocked
emotions or "stuck" material, including incidents of abuse, trauma, loss, or other
painful life experiences. As an EMDR participant described, "Instead of working
from the outside layers of an onion to reach the core inside as traditional
therapy does, EMDR allows you to go straight to the core, resolve the issue, and
lets the changes reverberate though the onion effecting all the outer layers."
Client-centered therapeutic approaches are varied and
geared to the personal issues and goals of each client.
In my work with couples I also make extensive use of John Gottman's (U of W)
research based techniques and strategies. My client population includes
adults, children and couples.
