In addition to working with a range of adult, adolescent and child clients, I specialize in guiding parents of children challenged by chronic illness, medical trauma or developmental issues toward the outcome of post-traumatic growth rather than post-traumatic stress. My research, presented at three conferences of the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and others, helps to show that parents who take care of themselves create better social and health outcomes for their challenged children. I am licensed psychologist candidate, editor of the APA Div 39 monthly publication, and editor of the APA Div 39 blog at PsychologyToday.com. EMDR Certified. Former teacher. Former Outward Bound guide. Frequent school consultant.
