I specialize in adolescent issues, disruptive mood disorders, anger management, and depression and anxiety. I also treat children and adult survivors of childhood trauma through a DBT, psychodynamic, and CBT Trauma focus approach. I have a lot of experience and enjoy working with young adults with self-esteem problems, relationship issues, and difficulty finding direction in their lives. My goal is to help change the attitudes and perceptions of parents and adolescents, thus changing their behavior.Growing up in NYC and then transiting to NC, I am keenly aware of adaptation issues. My personal experience as a child survivor of trauma has sensitized me to sexual, physical, and mental health abuse cases to transformation, courage, and perseverance.
