Background and approach

In sessions he guides clients through structured procedures that aim to lessen the intensity of distressing memories. His background as an MD informs his clinical perspective, and he has spent nearly a decade working with people affected by traumatic events. That experience shapes how he plans and sequences sessions to match each person’s pace and tolerance.

During early meetings he will listen to current symptoms and past events to develop a straightforward plan. Clients can expect clear explanations of each step and time to ask questions before trying a new exercise. Appointments are offered through multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform process for matching and booking.

Online support

EMDR and remote trauma-focused care

EMDR involves guided attention to a distressing memory while the therapist uses specific stimulation methods to help the brain process that memory differently. It is often used for traumatic memories and related post-traumatic stress symptoms and aims to reduce the emotional charge tied to those memories.

In this practice EMDR is applied in a step-by-step way: establishing safety and pacing, identifying target memories, and then processing those targets with guided procedures. The therapist explains each step and works with the client to move forward only when they feel ready.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to assess goals, symptoms, and preferences and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. This shared decision-making helps ensure the chosen methods fit the client's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist observe facial cues and use a fuller session format. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who communicate more easily in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.
