I have 24 years of clinical experience working with adults and families, specializing in adolescent psychology and women's issues. I am also trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a highly effective model for helping parents deal with disruptive behavior disorders in young children. My clinical specialty is trauma (sexual trauma in particular), and mood disorders. My theoretical orientation is humanistic, but I use many cognitive therapy tools and mindfulness-based techniques as well. Although I address the problem that brings clients to see me, I focus also on identifying each client's strengths and using those strengths to address the challenges they face.
