Affirming Care
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who weaves traditional therapy with affirming care for neurodivergent adults and children. I provide psychodynamic client centered treatment tailored to an individual's unique processing and sensory system.
This is a space that makes room for big stories and challenges which are treated with sensitivity and skill born from 32 years of practice and 21 years of parenting. It is an LGBTQ friendly space.
If you are a parent seeking information about PDA I offer consultations, ongoing support and parent groups.
Professionals can seek an individual consult on PDA practice or join my clinical consultation group through PDANA. My writings on PDA in the Therapy Space and Accommodating PDA Communication are available on request.
Licensed since 1995 with a background of individual, child and family work, I have a Bachelor's from Brandeis University and a Master's from Yeshiva's Wurzweiler School of Social Work. Certifications in treating PDA obtained from The Open College of London and PDANA.
