- Diagnostic Interview & Assessment
When addressing problem behaviors that occur as a result of an attachment trauma and/or chronic childhood trauma, it is important to devise an individualized treatment plan tailored to a families' specific needs and strengths. Because parents are the experts on their child, I involve parents in the treatment planning process, where we devise individual and family goals. In order to formulate a helpful treatment plan, we must establish a history of significant events, an understanding of the child's current functioning and challenges, and a mutual representation of how progress will be evaluated.

- Support for Therapeutic Parenting
Therapeutic parenting is a set of strategies for responding to a child's behavior in a way that helps the child establish safety, security, connectedness, and self-worth. Because traumatized children experience what we say and do very differently than we intend, I help parents better understand the mind of their child so they can choose interventions that meet the child’s developmental and emotional needs.

- Family and Child Therapy
I provide and often combine individual and family therapy in sessions up to two hours long. Because the involvement and cooperation of parents in treatment is essential to a successful outcome, parents are expected to attend each session. I typically meet with parents first for an update of the child’s behavioral and emotional episodes throughout the week and work with parents to develop their skills in responding therapeutically to problems.
