Description
Hello, I am pleased to tell you a little bit about me and my practice! I work with children, teens, and parents on a variety of issues (such as anxiety, self-esteem, executive functioning, suicidality etc) and have a special interest in trauma, dissociative processes in children, ADHD, and Autism. A small part of my practice is dedicated to adults who are interested in exploring their past to to gain a clearer understanding of how they came to where they are, and how to heal moving forward. Please reach out if you have questions! Warmly, Claire
