My primary work is with children, adolescents, and their families, but I also work with adults individually. Primary areas of specialty include social skills training (I develop curriculum for social groups), and mood regulation within the youth population. I am a staunch advocate of focusing on communication; both verbal and nonverbal, as I help my clients improve their “emotional vocabulary”. My ideal client is someone is ready to make a positive change in his or her life, working through self-improvement. These clients wish to develop skills they are having difficulty with and/or are not able to develop on their own.

Small children aged 3 to 8 typically do not participate in family therapy because the vast majority of therapists consider such children too young to articulate their feelings or understand complex patterns of behavior.
Tool Box for Life and Relational Skills When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently. Skill development is relational. No one lives in isolation; everyone maintains many types of relationships. Treatment provides chances to improve all relationships by communicating effectively, listening without making assumptions, and avoiding miscommunication that brings on anger and/or conflict.
