I specialize in trauma, major and minor, and use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, since 2004. I have long experience in a general practice, with expert experience in the area of child welfare. I work with children and adults, with domestic violence and child abuse, and also with the everyday difficulties of the average person. I am married, and the parent of an adult child. I grew up in upstate New York, went to college in Massachusetts, and went to graduate school in St. Louis, practicing for many years in Edwardsville IL, in private practice and consulting to several agencies.
