I am interested in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who face challenges in coping with chronic illness, special needs/learning disabilities, getting along with others, having anger outbursts, and many more challenges that young people face growing up. Each person is unique, and therefore a cookie-cutter approach is not possible.
