"Through the years I have woven my other interests into my work. Self psychology has taught me how to best mirror my clients and understand the dynamics of transference. Somatic Experiencing is a powerful tool for working with shock trauma and infant mental health has taught me about attunement, the brain and self regulation. My research in this field helped me create a deeper appreciation for the role of temperament in personality and I have developed my own techniques to help dyads (parent/infant; parent/child; parent/teen and couples) to become more engaged in a mutually rewarding way with each other.
