"I was at the presentation you did at the conference in Atlanta... and have been talking about your work to all the professionals I know ever since. Your insights and methods were very meaningful to me. As a mother and a new social worker, I find your work a wonderful contribution to the world of therapy."

Many people who experience severe emotional or physical pain, over which they had little or no control develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the major symptoms of which are difficulty developing and maintaining close relationships with others and oppositional defiant behaviors. I view most of the children and adults in my program to be experiencing post-traumatic stress, which often does not respond to just traditional talking and play therapy. My 29 years of working with people with post-traumatic stress disorder has enabled me to develop methods and techniques specifically for post-traumatic stress disorder, making it much more likely that families will make progress than if treated by a general therapist without experience or methods that directly focus on post-traumatic stress disorder.

MULTISENSORY STIMULATION:
People learn more efficiently and effectively when they visualize, feel, and experience what is being talked about rather than just hearing words.

TEAMWORK:
Children make faster progress when parents, therapists, and school personnel work together as a team reinforcing in a consistent manner the ideas and lessons being taught.
