I strongly believe in the importance of the family. Each individual is important in the family system and brings a different dynamic into it. I enjoy working with individuals and families: both parent/child and sibling relationships. While I am most passionate about working with individuals suffering with trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, the family relationship needs support as well, particularly with challenging children. Sometimes an outside perspective can help us see things differently. Challenges in a family are guaranteed, but with some encouragement and support, we can become stronger through those challenges.
I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma, anxiety/depression, but also enjoy utilizing other types of therapy within my scope: DBT for individuals, Gottman relational strategies, Play Therapy and Sand Tray therapy for all ages.
Lawana is the mother of 6 children: 4 very busy boys and 2 amazing daughters, with an amazing granddaughter. She has a love of children and has served the children in her EV community for the past 20 years, including 10+ years in BSA in Cub Scouts. Interests include supporting her husband and children in their activities, world travel, and college football.
