Naomi Erkenbrack
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
I believe that God is the ultimate resource for all of our needs, and it is my privilege to be a vessel of His grace and truth. It is my honor to show His love and to encourage others in the journey of discovering what He does for them and who they are in Him. I am guided by His words about practicing real love in I John 3:18-24 (The Message).
One of my areas of specialty is working with trauma and attachment issues. I believe the concept of attachment is biblically rooted and designed by our Creator Himself. I have seen how secure relationships provide a beautiful illustration of a glimpse of God’s love toward us and how we can be secure in Him and who He made us to be. When working with kids with attachment struggles, I help parents understand their children from a trauma and attachment perspective to address barriers in developing a secure attachment. When working with all ages, my goal is to create a safe place to process life stories and heal wounds with grace and truth.
