Find a CRM® Therapist

I hold a belief that every individual I come across holds within him/herself the power to heal. My role is to help those individuals access their power when they feel they have none. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and addictive disorders and I am passionate about bringing a sense of hope and empowerment to the individuals I serve. My hope is that individuals will learn to embrace their power and find connection with others who share similar experiences, bringing them closer to their personal healing and, ultimately, to the life they dream of living.

I have worked with trauma and addictive disorders since 2005 and am currently the Owner/Trauma Specialist Individual & Family Psychotherapy at Brave Counseling and Consulting. I am trained in the Comprehensive Resource Model which is intended for the treatment of trauma and related disorders.

Our practice offers supportive modalities of treatment including Craniosacral therapy, a Registered Dietitian as well as many movement groups (Yoga, NIA) and varying support groups. In addition, we offer an intensive outpatient program for individuals who require a higher level of care, keeping them with practitioners they trust.

Biography

I am a craniosacral therapist and HHP with certification and training in both Biodynamic/Upledger CranioSacral therapy, and in EFT, CRM, BSP, nutrition, energy work, self-regulation, SPD strategies, Creative Learning and trauma resolution. I hold a CA teaching credential and Masters degree.

I so enjoy what I do and am always excited about working with people who are open to making changes and who want to be empowered in their Health and their lives. The training in BSP was helpful in reaching these goals.

Now CRM is even more powerful as a system to empower my clients. I have over forty years of consulting, research, and teaching that includes college, secondary, and alternative health. In past years, I’ve been an Art, ESL, Speech instructor, Reiki teacher, communications consultant, professional artist and Theater director in community college and secondary school. Integrated with this experience is my early and current training in energy work, learning from pioneers in the field in the early eighties to those in the present.

I’ve studied with Lisa Schwarz, Peter Levine, Stephen Porges, Robert Scaer, and others. With my own ongoing research, I continually learn new and exciting techniques in several schools of craniosacral training, brain curriculum, and quantum energy work as well.
