Romalyn Aaron, EDS, LPC, NCC, ADC, ICADC, CTAPSB, EMDR
Army vet, spouse of an Army vet. Lover of all life forms (yes, even the ones that bite first and ask questions later). The citizens of this country paid for my degrees while I was in uniform, so now I get to give that gift back, one trauma-informed, EMDR-powered healing journey at a time. You already have the answers; I'll just help you find them. I Roll with the Tide, but I'll still cheer for the bird. Or any other SEC team that happens to be winning that Saturday! I love the color blue and I'm still hanging tough (if you know what I mean). I never go back on my word. That's my nindo, my ninja way!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healing journey.
