I participated in parent counseling from an Adlerian theoretical perspective while completing a clinical internship with Bethesda Youth Services (now Silver Spring YMCA Youth and Family Services Division), and went on to train with the agency to become a parent educator.  I continue to lead and co-lead 'Parenting Teens', 'Encouraging Your Child,' and 'Family Anger Issues' for the YMCA and the City of Rockville.  I also work with parents on their concerns and issues arising from parenting, and from parenting difficult children.
