I am blessed to study with the best - I studied family systems work with Monica McGoldrick MSW and learned EMDR in 1990 from Dr. Shapiro herself. I have been a senior facilitator for the EMDR Institute and am a consultant for therapists in training. Today I practice family systems, utilizing the genogram - with EMDR as the cornerstone - along with mindfullness and spirituality. I have four children who have taught me about autism, dyslexia, adoption, and assumptions. They are my greatest teachers! I am married to Dr. John Schaut, a master EMDR practioner who works with our combat veterans. The family we grow up in has so much to do with who we are. I have been privileged to work with thousands of families and individuals to help discern patterns that are keeping them stuck. I treat trauma across the lifespan; young children, adolescents, and adults; couples and families. I have been so well versed in family systems, EMDR and childwork. I am knowledgable in 12-step work, adoption, autism, learning disabilities, and grief work; I have worked with pioneers in the field. I teach, consult and supervise. I look forward to meeting with you!
