"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."

We provide family therapy as we work with parents as well as the children.
We do far more than traditional talk or play therapy. Many of my therapeutic techniques and interventions are unique and involve using multisensory stimulation that people experience in addition to tradition talking and play therapy. For example, each of my offices has over 500 hand-made arts and crafts by local and national artists that people can see, hear or touch. Any message or lesson that the therapist teaches with words can be reinforced by seeing and touching the various objects of art. People learn more efficiently and effectively when they experience in a concrete, sensory, tangible manner the lessons being taught rather than when they just experience hearing words. We also use Origami (paper folding) as a therapeutic tool that fascinates most people while working on attachment, control, identity, attitudes, anger, values, maturity, problem-solving, conflict resolution problems and coping skills.
