She has competence with various populations but often focused on children and families. She also worked and specialized in treating past traumas, people with long-term psychiatric disabilities, personality disorders, childhood disorders and grief. 

Since moving to Indiana in 2008, she has done substitute teaching for art classes in the Southwest Allen County Schools.

She also served as a guest lecturer at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in the music therapy program and at Huntington University with visual arts and art education majors. She participated in a panel discussion at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art with a focus on alternative careers for art majors.
