Affirming Care
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides neuro-affirming care for PDA adults and parents. I provide psychodynamic client centered therapy 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.
If you are a parent seeking information about PDA, I provide consultation, referrals, short-term parent focused therapy, and an online community connection group. I can tailor a service for your unique needs.
Professionals and school teams can seek a consult on PDA practice, attend my presentations, join my consultation groups or make an online visit to the PDATherapycollaborative.com to learn more about unfolding PDA best practice.
My writings on PDA in the therapy space and accommodating PDA are available there and on Facebook.
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. I am level 3 PDA certified from The Open College of London and an early beta tester of level 1 and 2 training with PDANA and have worked exclusively with PDA for 3 years.
