Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC)

My specialization as a CRC, means I also stay alert to leading cutting edge changes within the field such as medical advancements, assistive technology applications, changes in employment law, and workplace and communications advancements. It is the prominent certification for counselors who assist people who experience medical and disability related barriers.

Certified as Master A.R.T. Practitioner

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Per the Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery, ART is described as, “the best of well known therapies including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, Exposure (imaginal, in-vivo), relaxation techniques, and Brief Psycho-dynamic therapy and combines them with eye movements similar to those we using during the (REM) Rapid Eye Movement phase of sleep. ART utilizes a re-scripting process called Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR) to assist clients in replacing negative images with positive ones.

Certified in Brainspotting

Brainspotting uses the visual field to access unprocessed trauma and pockets of emotion. Per David Grand’s website Brainspotting.com, BSP makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the BSP therapist locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship. We believe that BSP taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. When a Brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain appears to reflexively signal the therapist that the source of the problem has been found. BSP can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience.”
