I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 20 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. I specialize in working with individuals who have been traumatized by a specific event, or have developmental trauma due to events that have occurred throughout life using Somatic Experiencing and NARM. I believe that attachment to others is vital to healing. We have developed coping strategies that were effective in the past - you have ability to allow yourself to heal and change! I would love to work with you providing you the time and place that you need to start the healing process. I am trained and certified in Somatic Experiencing and integrate that training with traditional psychotherapy methods. I am also trained and certified in the NeuroAffective Relational Model which uses both a top down and bottom up approach to help your to address developmental trauma or C-PTSD. Successful treatment of trauma requires more than just talk! True healing involves addressing somatic experiences as well as emotional and cognitive responses that have become stuck. I address all aspects of trauma whether it is a specific event trauma or developmental issues from childhood. I work with adults and adolescents.
