What I Do

I use research supported interventions, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, as well as a warm and playful interpersonal style to help children and families live life to the fullest.

I have a special interest in treating children, adolescents and young adults with anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder, executive functioning problems and voiding disorders.  

I am also considered an expert in helping children cope with chronic medical problems. I understand the stress that comes along with health issues such as diabetes, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, organ transplants, cancer and asthma.  I understand that a chronic medical problem can sometimes cause serious adjustment issues for children. I know that siblings of children with medical problems may also have adjustment problems.  It is an honor to assist children and families cope with the numerous challenges of having a medical disorder.   

​In my free time I enjoy kite flying, photographing, reading, and spending time with my grown daughter who is married and is an artist in Atlanta Georgia.
