She is experienced in doing individual work with children and adults, as well as doing family and couple's work. Dr. Ziegler's approach initially focuses on the crisis which precipitated a referral for treatment. This may involve stress management, crisis intervention, or other "present day" focus to improve coping. Along with this is an assessment of the history of the problem, including discussion of family of origin, childhood experiences, etc. as they pertain to and help in understanding the presenting problem. Using this information as a background, she then helps clients to understand the thoughts and practice the behaviors that can lead to change of long-term attitudes or habits. Problems that she particularly deals with include sexual issues, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns of couples and parents.
