My Approach
I specialize in working with people with a variety of issues and mental illnesses. In my many years of experience, there are very few issues that I have not encountered. I can help you regardless of age or background.
I am a Children’s Mental Health Specialist, and I can provide individual and family therapy to children and adolescents of all ages. I also work with adults. My experience and specialties include:
​
-
Fully trained EMDR therapist.
-
Trauma work, particularly related to issues that may have occurred in childhood or adolescence, regardless of your current age.
-
Children's Mental Health Specialist.
-
Victims of domestic violence. I can help you and your children whether you are still with the perpetrator or whether you have already left. I do not provide couples counseling when there is severe domestic violence, nor do I provide perpetrator treatment.
-
Grief and loss issues: I am skilled at helping people work through the grief process.
-
Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depression and a variety of personality disorders.
-
Autism and Asperger's, helping children build and develop social skills.
-
Children going through divorce and custody disputes. Please note: I strongly encourage you not to use your child's psychotherapy experience as part of your custody dispute, as this can be extremely destructive and harmful to your child.
-
Sexual abuse. I help children, youth and adults with a history of sexual abuse find healing.
-
Special needs children. I can help you as a parent understand your child’s disorder and advocate for your child. I can also help you parent your child in a manner that will maximize your child’s success.
-
Psychotherapy and counseling for children, adolescents and adults with ADHD, Prader-Willy, Brain injury, Autism, Asperger's, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Fetal Alcohol Effect, Cleft Palate/Lip, speech disorders including Apraxia and Dispraxia; learning disabilities and developmental disabilities in children, adolescents and adults.
