With licensure in Ohio since 2010, I have maintained academic appointments at Case Western Reserve University and clinical leadership roles at Akron Children's Hospital.My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, parent guidance, and school collaboration to create safe, effective treatment environments.
