Introduction

My name is Annette and I have provided many types of Social Work Services and Therapy in my last 29 years of employment. My focus is Trauma Focused Care which includes EMDR, Somatic, and DBT therapies. I have a background in treating victims of crime, sexual abuse, relationship abuse, and emotional neglect. I have experience working with betrayal trauma, abusive relationships, and compulsive behaviors. My approach is providing ways a client can obtain their own inner peace, comfort, and relief as they connect to their self through means of shadow work (Carl Jungian), somatic work (polyvagal theory), and promoting emotional and spiritual develoment (transpersonal psychology). Some examples of Soul-Soothing Activities I utilize to promote this work are; Bilateral music, Connecting with nature, Mindfullness/Meditation, Acts of Kindness (towards self and others), and learning how to develop deeper connections. I would enjoy working with you to find out the ways you can connect to yourself to promote healing and peace.
