I have experience and expertise in working with adoptive children and families, particularly around attachment disorders. My practice has shown me that I have a particular skill with pre-teens and adolescents. Clients in the LGBTQ+ community as well in alternative lifestyles communities will find an open-minded and welcoming presence in working with me. I especially enjoy working with transgender teens and young adults. I seek to help empower clients to find inner resources to fulfill their life goals and duly face life's challenges. I have taken workshops and trainings with Dan Hughes to increase my understanding of working with attachment disordered children and their families. I also have taken workshops with Bruce Perry whose theory on a neurodevelopmental approach to treatment I find exciting. I trained with Ricky Greenwald and am certified in EMDR. I have a solo private practice out of my home office which can afford clients a greater degree of comfort in attending therapy and help to remove the stigma some clients may feel in a more office-type setting.
