I am a careful listener of life stories and I believe in the capacity of life narratives to illustrate each person's life themes. Even nonverbal children and adults have stories to tell. I use a number of approaches, tailored to each client's needs: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Depression and Anxiety; Behavioral Modification and Relationship Development Intervention for children and adults on the Spectrum; Truama Therapy for people who have experienced childhood trauma; CBT and Interpersonal therapy for adolescents and adults with relationship concerns;
I treat individuals of all ages:
- Toddlers / Preschoolers (2 to 6)
- Children (6 to 10)
- Preteens / Tweens (11 to 13)
- Adolescents / Teenagers (14 to 19)
- Adults
- Elders (65+)
- Autism and Children with Specail Needs (diagnostic assessment, ADOS 2 certified)
- Anxiety Disorders and Depression in children, adolescents, adults, and seniors
- Childhood Trauma (abuse, serious medical issues, neglect, and abandonment) in children and adults
- Work challenges for adults; as well as career change
- Grief and loss (children, adolescents, adults, elders)
