Practice Description
I am a family based therapist and through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, I can help patients find their strengths and learn skills that solve both current and future problems. I specialize in crisis situations that include infedelity, abuse, legal issues, divorce, and school and behavior problems with children. I support, educate, and train parents with such issues as phobias, anxiety disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD, and conduct disorders. I collaborate with teachers and school counselors, making them part of your child's treatment plan if needed. I often use play therapy in conjunction with my certified therapy dog, Kotter. Kotter is a good listener, never tells secrets, and can change frowns to smiles. I believe children and families are the core of our community, thus I support health in the entire system and build on the strengths of the family.
