Forty-four years ago, I was trained as a Holistic Social Worker. I have worked across the America's with all age groups and numerous cultures. It is important to me to offer you person-centered communication to support you strengthening your own motivation to change. No one knows you like you do! There are many healing traditions out there and I will honor you and your choices.
My approach to counseling combines cognitive (thought) and somatic (body) techniques. I specialize in working with stress and trauma. We all have different responses to stress and trauma. I work with how your nervous system has been dysregulated, basic understanding that Trauma is in the nervous system not the event.
I have used techniques that successfully helped veterans who returned from war with post-traumatic stress disorder. Including those who survive natural disasters, abuse, medical procedures, and any experience where you felt your life was threatened. I am trained in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Art Therapy, Self-Hypnosis, Trauma First Aide to name a few.
