My areas of specialization include working with trauma and anxiety, whether it’s trauma “with a Big T” or “Little t” trauma, more specifically, having grown up with some kind of emotional neglect.  In addition to be certified with the International Association of EMDR (EMDRIA), I’m also trained in Somatic Experiencing, as well as Hakomi and Gestalt. Three of the main populations that I serve include men, those who identify as gay or lesbian or queer, and then those who are Jewish. As my previous profession involved working with immigrants, teaching them English and how to better acclimate to American society, I’m quite sensitive to the cross-cultural issues that people face in moving to this country and trying to navigate a new culture. I both live and practice in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. A couple of my personal hobbies include spending time out in nature and making stained glass windows.
