My specialties include treatment of problems related to foster care, adoption, and family and other interpersonal relationships, issues with attachment, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Treatment approaches used are integrative and include cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused theories.

Acknowledging the need to change is easy but following through is often very difficult.
