I have been working in the Social Work field for over twenty years specializing in children, adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience in diverse issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions and family dynamics. My approach is both traditional and non-traditional, which led to obtaining my certification in both EMDR and Brainspotting. These treatment modalities can greatly assist in the processing and healing from issues that are deeply-rooted and often not fully resolved with talk therapy alone. I have expanded to include highly-skilled therapists who share in my enthusiasm and love for this work.

Can talking about your problems really make things better? Well, sometimes a thoughtful structured approach to life's challenges can be very helpful. But sometimes talking just doesn't seem to make our lives different. When we go through something challenging, upsetting, or overwhelming, our bodies are involved in the response. This means to resolve the issue, our bodies need to be involved in addressing the solution.
