My treatment orientation consists of cognitive behavioral, family systems, and solution focused perspectives. I have many years of experience working with children adjusting to divorce, children with parents with substance abuse issues, blended families, adoptive families, children exhibiting behavior problems, children with learning challenges and more.
Common diagnoses treated in children consist of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, developmental disabilities and obsessive compulsive disorders. Common diagnoses treated in adults consist of obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, and depression.
I am a certified Child and Family Investigator (CFI) which qualifies me to make recommendations to the court regarding custody of children in divorce cases.
In addition I have specific training and experience in parenting and am qualified to complete adoptive home studies using the (SAFE) certification. I am a Becoming a Love and Logic ™ parenting facilitator and teach the class to couples individually and in a group setting.
