I have extensive experience...over 20 years working with children and adolescents. I find that my office, casual demeanor and use of art/play/yoga/writing/guided imagery/talk with this population has been received well.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
Family/collateral expert, assistance w IEP/CPS/custody etc. I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.
