About My Clients

Does any of this seem familiar: You feel overwhelmed because your child is having a hard time and you don’t know what to do? Or burnt out trying to be a “good” parent while also meeting all of your other responsibilities? Or worried about how to navigate an increasingly prickly relationship with your teen/tween? Or just generally frustrated because things at home are constantly chaotic and stressful? Things don’t need to stay this way.

My Background and Approach

I'm a psychologist with a background in child, tween, & teen development and mental health. My goal is to give you the tools and support you need to manage parenting challenges. Together, we can discuss specific parenting struggles you may be having such as bedtime, family routines, navigating tricky conversations, what to expect at various phases of development, and when you should be more concerned about changes or behaviors you notice in your kids. Services provided to clients throughout New York State via confidential telehealth. Visit my website or contact me for a complimentary 15 minute consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As both a psychologist and a mom: I understand first-hand how hard and messy the day to day struggles of raising kids can be, especially while also trying to manage all of life’s other demands. I know that we all make lots of mistakes, and that not every day is filled with joy, but that we also love our kids, we want what is best for them, and are doing the best we can. I embrace the fact that everyone’s family is unique, that there is no one “right” way to parent, and that different kids have different strengths and different needs. I believe that parenting is easier when you have a “village” to help you, which can come from family, friends, or the community. I want to help you have the support and tools you need to feel like your life is manageable.
