Certificates
Accelerated Resolition Therapy Practitioner
International Society of Accelerated Resolution Therapy
This is a short-term, specialized treatment to move on from distressing issues- whether they're from the past, present, or you're worrying about issues in the future. It uses eye movements to rewire the parts of the brain that make certain problems bother us so much. It enables you to shed the negative effects of whatever the concern is, very quickly.
Education
Smith College School for Social Work
MSW (Master of Social Work), 2017
My program focused on anti-oppression and psychodynamic theories- exploring childhood and the unconscious with clients to understand who they are and why.
