      <image:title>Unexpected Life Events, Life Crises &amp; Trauma | New York | 10528 - Many, if not most of us have experienced an unexpected life change, crisis, or traumatic event at some point in our lives.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Often these events can have a lasting negative impact that interferes with the way one interprets the world and the way he or she might relate to others and their environment. It’s as if we trap ourselves in our past experiences hindering our ability to be adaptive creatures that respond with creativity to our present circumstances. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals work through “fixed” associations from one’s past – those unyielding beliefs, feelings, or experiences that are likely the remnants of a difficult time in one’s life or a traumatic event from one’s past.

      <image:title>Healing With EMDR | Harrison &amp; New York | 10010 - Unexpected life events, life crises and trauma can leave a lasting, negative impact on a person, by interfering with both the way one sees the world and the way one relates to others and their environment.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These experiences can interrupt one’s ability to be adaptive and self-evolving. EMDR Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapeutic technique that helps individuals work through the distressing emotions and negative thought patterns that are linked to painful past experiences, or traumatic events. Read more about EMDR from Atlantic Monthly‘s  “Can Eye Movement Work Like Therapy?” EMDR is an innovative approach to psychotherapy that incorporates much of the wisdom of other therapies. EMDR is effective for changing negative thought patterns, emotional reactions, entrenched habits, and even physical discomfort that people can’t “think” or “talk” their way out of. EMDR is used within a comprehensive treatment plan to promote your recovery from identified difficulties or past traumas. Most often, I integrate EMDR into my overall therapeutic approach which also combines mindfulness-skills training and Gestalt therapeutic techniques. Additionally, if you are currently in treatment with another therapist, I offer EMDR services as an adjunct to your current form of treatment and can work with you and your therapist to enhance the progress of your therapy sessions.</image:caption>
