When was the last time you felt intimately connected in your life? Sometimes stressors in our relationships, careers, personal histories, and more can get in the way. Together we can explore and process the obstacles limiting your ability to let go and enjoy life. We will challenge any anxiety, sadness, guilt, and negative beliefs that disempower you from showing up as your authentic self.

Hello, I am glad that you are looking for support! Suddenly life has become incrementally more challenging as we are struggling with feeling out of control and overwhelmed. Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and increasing challenges in our relationships are part of life for most people at this time. Old traumas are being triggered, often unbeknownst to us. I have provided support to my clients through these and other issues for 22 years. With a specialization in EMDR Trauma Therapy in addition to cognitive behavioral/attachment orientations I can help my clients move "past their past" ( Shapiro, 2012) and remain in the present.

At VCATTRC we provide neurocognitive and brain based treatment methodologies for substance abuse and psychological disorders. We believe that there is a strong correlation between a healthy brain and a person’s mental, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Mental behavioral disorders such as anxiety, depression, and addiction, have been linked to serious behavioral and cognitive dysfunctions in adults with long history of addictive behavior. Thus, treating such disorders and related co-occurring disorders is in need of a proper and specialized multidimensional assessment, evaluation, and neurocognitive treatment plan.
