"I used to feel like I was living in the shadow of my past. The old fear, the tension in my chest, the flashbacks — they ran the show. Jeff helped me change that."

If your past still runs the show
You can't be fully present. You can't find joy.
You're always on edge. It's been years, but your past still haunts you. Embarrassing and painful thoughts flood over you without warning. You've tried to move on, but you keep being pulled back. There's a knot of constant anxiety in your stomach that makes it hard to let your guard down.
It feels like your life is passing you by. You see friends and colleagues moving ahead, starting families and new businesses. Meanwhile, you're still struggling with the same issues. You want to seek help, but you're ashamed you're still dealing with this. "Just push through," you'd tell yourself. It's time to admit you need some support.
What this looks like day to day
- Always on edge, never fully able to let your guard down
- Painful thoughts that flood in without warning
- A constant knot of anxiety in your stomach
- Focus that slips when it matters most
It's not your fault. The residual effects of traumatic experiences can have a devastating impact on your life.
"The past isn't a memory anymore. It's a wire that's still live."
Why it works
Your brain heals and recontextualizes the memory — much the way it integrates new information during REM sleep.
Why EMDR works
EMDR: the clinically proven method for treating trauma.
EMDR therapy is the clinically proven method for treating the residual effects of trauma. Using bilateral stimulation, we harness the process your brain uses during REM. This allows your brain to heal itself and recontextualize your memories within a safe and trustworthy clinical relationship.
EMDR starts working as soon as our first session. You'll begin to see and feel results within a few weeks, without having to rehash painful events. EMDR restores a sense of safety within your nervous system, giving you clarity and confidence. You'll feel more present, and finally able to focus on the things that matter to you.
The memory becomes something that happened — not something that is still happening.

The work itself
Regain control of your mind, body, and life in three phases.
Each phase builds on the one before it. Reprocessing doesn't start until the ground underneath is steady — and we don't stop until what's changed has a place to live in your daily life.
01·
Stabilize and prepare
We identify what's driving your symptoms and build the internal resources that create safety and control. Your nervous system learns it doesn't have to stay on high alert.
02·
Reprocess the root memories
Using EMDR, we target the memories and beliefs keeping you stuck. Emotional intensity drops as your brain updates the experience and releases the stored threat response.
03·
Integrate and move forward
We install new beliefs, strengthen emotional regulation, and help your body respond to life as it is now — not as it once was.
How I practice
Clinically proven.
EMDR is an established, research-backed method for treating the residual effects of trauma. The work isn't experimental — it's evidence-based, and it works.
No re-traumatizing.
You get results without rehashing painful events in detail. The point isn't to retell the worst day of your life. The point is to let your brain finish the work it never got to finish.
Trauma lives in the body.
Talking explains. EMDR heals. We work with the nervous system, not just the story — which is why people who have tried everything else often find this one finally moves.
About Me
Trauma treatment that doesn't make you relive it.
EMDR is one of the most studied trauma treatments there is. The point is not to talk through every painful detail again. The point is to let your brain do what it already knows how to do, so the past stops intruding on the present.
I work with adults in Glendale and online throughout California. If you've tried talk therapy and felt like you were running in place — explaining the same story to the same person without anything actually shifting — that's exactly the gap EMDR was built to close. Your brain isn't broken. It's still holding a wound that never got the chance to heal.

What clients say
The shift from still happening to happened.
These are the outcomes clients come back to describe: a story that used to run their whole life becoming a story from their life.
"Before working with Jeff, I was stuck in a loop of self-criticism that I couldn't escape. With EMDR and Jeff's compassionate presence, I started feeling something I hadn't in years: self-respect. Over time, that turned into self-love. That's something I never thought I'd say out loud."
"I came into therapy feeling blocked — creatively, emotionally, spiritually. There were whole parts of myself I had cut off just to survive. Jeff helped me find them again. Through this work, I've reconnected with my creativity, my sense of joy, even my spirituality. I feel like a whole person again."
Common questions
Things people ask before they call.
The short version of everything I wish I could say on a first call — before the meter even starts running.
Book a Free ConsultationWhat is EMDR?
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to engage the same process your brain uses during REM sleep. It lets your brain heal and recontextualize difficult memories while you stay relaxed and in control.
Will I have to relive painful memories?
No. EMDR works without rehashing painful events in detail. That's a large part of why people choose it — and why it works when talk therapy didn't.
How soon will I notice results?
EMDR starts working from the first session. Most people see and feel a difference within a few weeks — sleep, focus, the volume of the past dialing down.
Do you see clients online?
Yes. Sessions are available in Glendale and online throughout California. EMDR works in both formats when the clinician is trained to deliver it remotely.
What does it cost, and do you take insurance?
We'll talk through session fees and scheduling on your free consultation. Bring your questions to the call — no card, no commitment, no pressure either way.
