Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting support, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and body image issues, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, communication problems, domestic violence, fertility concerns, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, and related challenges. Across this range, she aims to work toward client-identified goals and observable progress using approaches that fit each person’s strengths.
