I provide therapy for children and adolescents as well as adults, and I consult with parents to help them understand how best to manage challenging behaviors and foster loving relationships. I also conduct comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for children and adolescents to provide answers and recommendations for ADHD, learning problems, and social-emotional issues. I'm a psychologist working with children and adolescents, parents, and families to help manage and address a variety of issues surrounding child development and behaviors that can impact the family as a unit. I specialize in child and adolescent mental health and parent-child relationships. I received my doctorate in Combined School-Clinical Child Psychology in 2007 from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. My experience includes training at NYU Child Study Center, and post-graduate work as psychologist and Program Director at the Center for Child Development at Queens Hospital Center. I also have worked in school settings as well as in private practice. I currently conduct psychotherapy and evaluations privately in Westchester and Fairfield Counties, and I am a Certified Educator for the Happiest Baby on the Block program. I have extensive experience with psychological testing, and most recently have worked at the Southfield Center (now the Sasco River Center), conducting psychoeducational evaluations and providing individual therapy with children and adolescents. My therapeutic approach is integrative and eclectic. Therapeutic treatment is tailored to the particular needs of the child, parent, and family, and may include parent consultation, play therapy, and/or talk therapy. I am also a mom of two boys, and chances are I've "been there" in one way or another! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!
