Having practiced social work for over 28 years, I subscribe to a person centered, strengths based approach. I am adept at many talk therapies, but my passion is using Accelerated Resolution Therapy to assist with processing the somatic symptoms attached to trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and harassment/bullying. It also helps with ADHD, dyslexia, and those who have suffered a stroke. This therapy employs bilateral eye movements, word play, dream like language, and visual image replacement, to process out negative symptoms, replacing negative memories with positive scenes, and decreasing negative sensations. Allowing individuals to enjoy life again. It is an evidence based, therapeutic modality used with first responders, those who have suffered traumatic events, substance use issues, and the impacts of OCD. Having worked with individuals with trauma, pain and autoimmune disorders are often present, whether it be jaw pain, back pain, or fibromyalgia. I am Certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy which uses somatic techniques to aid in discarding acute and chronic pain, so clients can live a pain free life.
