I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 21 years experience working with families with children affected by attachment disorders. I have worked with a range of families on parenting techniques for the most challenging of behaviors. I specialize in treating children and adolescents that have experienced removal and placement in foster care and adoption. I have worked with children and teens with concerns around hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, OCD, and conduct disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is direct, goal oriented, and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, dignity, and compassion.
