Academic experiences have included Clinical Assistant Professorship at University of Maryland Medical Center giving individual supervision and classroom presentations both as part of the curriculum to psychiatrists and behavioral pediatricians in training as well as at the American Academy of Pediatrics to practicing pediatricians.
Opportunities include teaching for several years in a Master's degree program in acupuncture and complementary healing arts about physical and emotional aspects of pediatric populations. As a co-author of a published paper Death of a Parent and an invited guest expert on child development on a radio show "Parents' Perspective", my chance to solidify what I had learned expanded.
Some varied clinical experiences include supporting healthy attachments in foster care and through foster care and private adoptions; as well as working in school systems to address developmental, educational, and social difficulties in average classrooms, private school settings, and in dedicated special education schools. My work has been with young people of all ages with learning differences, ADHD, autism, situational stress including physical illness and medical procedures, significant trauma and neglect, mood dysfunction including depression and bipolar disorders, and a wide variety of anxieties; with mild to severe difficulties in all these areas.
During Psychiatry training, I chose to add weekly trainings and see young patients in the Center for Infant Study when Dr. Taghi Moderessi was the director. Later I also added a 6 month elective at the Reginald Lourie Center for Infants and Young Children in Rockville which exposed me to sensory integration treatment for severe regulatory disorders, along with close collaboration with related providers in speech, physical therapy and occupational therapy. The many skilled and exceptional staff became my mentors and many became my friends.
My experience as a parent myself also infuses my work.
This information is offered with the hope of providing a service during my work with individuals and families in the community.
