Therapists for Children in Norfolk, VA
My work with developmental and relational trauma seeks to help adults and children to build internal resilience, set boundaries, and uproot negative beliefs about themselves.
Hi, I am Donna and my work is rooted in somatic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. I work with those recovering from trauma and unhealthy relationships with themselves and others. I use an integrative and holistic lens to help create space for whole person healing. I have special training in somatic attachment focused EMDR, DBT, and trauma informed CBT.
So many times we know we are stuck and the stress of it is overwhelming but figuring out how to do things differently is unclear. That’s where I can help. My person centered, warm and welcoming safe presence strives to meet you where you are but bring you somewhere new
