CRM is a trauma therapy model that can treat a wide range of issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Impulsivity, Emotional Dysregulation, and more. Beyond working with the general population, Adina also has experience working with Addictions and Motor Vehicle Accidents.

She believes that healing occurs when the body and the brain enter a state of safety and relaxation.  At this point, painful, stressful, and perhaps traumatic material becomes conscious in a way that the brain can process the information and release the pain. Once this happens, the body no longer needs to consume energy to repress, manage or distort those unwanted emotions.

Adina is warm and adopts a non-judmental approach any problem.

Outside of work, she loves singing and enjoys long walks in nature with her dog, Ryder.
