She works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing a variety of concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, autism-related challenges, impulse control issues, self-harming behaviors, personality-related traits, and maladaptive coping patterns.
