My Focus - at a glance

Healing within the therapeutic bond comes from our collaboration and often from the most unexpected revelations. I have the background, expertise and training to support you. Entrust me with your care, as well as your secrets, your hurts, your loves, your thoughts and emotions. I promise to accept all of it and you respectfully, artfully and with a hopeful, healing heart.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is so effective with so many that I offer it to most of my patients and couples also benefit.  

I often combine EMDR with other short term psycho-dynamic methods to help those who need to process traumatic events and gain control of powerful emotions.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Nevada

My specialty is working with intimate partners. Due to the complexity of relationships, we work in longer sessions that can be tailored to unique needs. I have helped couples on the brink of divorce recover from affairs and learn to self-soothe, communicate with patience and curiosity and be a source of emotional attachment for one another. I often use the Gottman Checkup – a quick way to get to the root of a couple’s problems, as well as coaching, educational techniques and, as a bonus, I use EMDR to treat trauma induced over-reactions to relationship stresses that are often the root of the couple’s problems.
