About Me

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma during the prenatal period, birth trauma, as well as experienced abuse as a child, teen,or adult. Trauma caused by bullies, or workplace trauma, medical trauma, chronic pain, long COVID, suicide survivors, and other traumatic grief (terminating a pregnancy, suicide survivors, loss of job, any loss). Trauma occurs in court proceedings, and anytime you don't have a voice. I believe strongly in EMDR as a profoundly successful technique for clients. I use expressive arts, sandtray, parts work with EMDR. I treat complex and developmental trauma, or single incident trauma. I use EMDR for grief, and symptoms such as inability to sleep, hypervigilance, anxiety, depression, loss of self, and dissociation that accompany trauma. I am always willing to find what works for the client, and to have the client an active participant in treatment. I use the Light Bar, Tactile (Buzzing sensation in each hand, or sound (headset) for bilateral stimulation. It is the client's choice.
