AAIT™ Pair A Day Training

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Tennessee with 33 years of practice experience, I have witnessed the gamut of life’s difficulties and the potential for healing that exists when those seeking help are met with compassion and skillful interventions. As a psychotherapist and Acceptance and Integration Training (TM) (AAIT) Practitioner, I have endeavored to provide trauma informed care to those in medical crisis, with mood disorders and addictions, as well as difficulties in interpersonal relationships and grief and loss issues.

After many years of practice, the study of AAIT enlivened my commitment to serving those who desire to heal, deepen recovery from addictions and mental health challenges and uncover the True Self. As a wholistic model, AAIT protocols and principles gave me the skills and ability to reliably address negative patterns of thought, belief and charged negative emotions that often result in maladaptive patterns of perceiving, feeling, and ultimately behaving.I sought to add Pair a Day protocol to the many skills learned in Fellowship Training after a particularly powerful session with Melanie that resulted in a deep, lasting sense of connection to myself and the cosmos.

This protocol provides layered exploration of tangled emotional content and for some a more accessible method for taking POINT OF VIEW. I do not consider myself a natural teacher, but the passion I feel for this method inspired me to answer the call to share it with others. That is a direct result of uncovering my true self!After 17 years of working in inpatient treatment of trauma, addictions and mood disorders, I recently expanded to full-time private practice in Knoxville and Maryville, Tennessee.
