I have a tremendous understanding of the social, emotional, psychological, and societal impacts of ACEs, and am aware of the importance of identifying and addressing toxic stress in both children and adults. I am also well-versed on the numerous symptoms of trauma. I understand how these symptoms can perpetuate other secondary effects such as addiction, eating disorders, difficulties with learning and processing information, and building and sustaining relationships. I have learned and use an integrated approach to treating trauma. This approach includes elements of body-centered psychotherapies, mindfulness, EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and somatic experiencing therapy.
