A note from Laura: I enjoy assisting children and their families experiencing transitional/adjustment struggles, attachment disruptions, abuse related difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorders, brain injury, parenting difficulties, trauma and/or mental illness. My goal is to educate and assist children and their families in building a working understanding of brain development, recognizing their strengths, enhancing self-esteem, and building the skills necessary for successful relationships within the family, with peers, and in social environments.
