I'm a Certified Biblical Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (CCTS), Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), and trained and practice EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a registered Circle of Security parenting facilitator and a certified parenting leader from Active Parenting Publishers (APP).
