In my practice I provide therapy to children, teens, adults and families. I have worked with children of all ages dealing with a variety of issues including, anxiety and depression, adjustment issues, developmental disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorders), attachment disorders and issues of trauma and abuse. I have worked for many years with children and families involved in the foster care and adoption systems. I use a variety of approaches to engage children and families and to help promote and support healthy attachments and relationships with a strong understanding of attachment and developmental needs.
