AREAS OF INTEREST & APPROACHES TO PRACTICE

I am interested in human development as informed by a complex adaptive systems perspective supported by empirical research and trauma-informed. My clinical practice is a process-oriented psychodynamic perspective informed by neuroscience and self psychology to treat children, adolescents, and adults. I am particularly interested in individuals with neurocognitive deficits and children and their parents in the process of divorce.
