I have experience and interest in working with families and individuals impacted by attachment disruption, adoption, foster care, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ issues. With over 35 years of experience, I bring compassion, humor, and creativity to my work with families. I have worked as a School Psychologist for the Howard County Public School System, provided parent consultation for families, and facilitated workshops for families throughout the United States, Canada, and in South Africa. I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and have been an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor as well as an Adjunct Instructor for the Couple and Family Therapy Program at University of Maryland College Park. I have received training in Theraplay®, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Relationship Development Intervention (RDI®), and trauma-focused play-based interventions. I am a Certified DDP Practitioner, a Level 2 AEDP Therapist, a Certified Theraplay® Practitioner, and a Registered Circle of Security Parent Educator.
