Specialty Areas: EMDR

I have a PhD from Michigan State University in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Developmental Psychology. I have contributed to EMDR in several ways: publishing original research on EMDR, writing a book on the application of EMDR with children Through the Eyes of a Child, engaging in EMDR humanitarian projects around the world, training mental health professionals in EMDR in the US and the world, and specializing in EMDR in my practice.
EMDR is a psychotherapy treatment that was originated by Francine Shapiro, PhD., in 1987 with the first research being published in 1989.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a psychotherapy treatment designed to alleviate the distress and emotional symptoms associated with traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences. It is most widely recognized as a highly effective treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
