I work only with children, teens and their families.
The main reason why I became a therapist and life coach was because as a school teacher I came in contact with a lot of children and adolescents who had issues that weren't being addressed properly. I made a commitment and took it upon myself to help children and teens so that they could become happy, confident, independent, self-sufficient members of society. I will help you and your family members get through uncertain and difficult times successfully by working with your child on developing better coping skills, communication skills, more positive behaviors, enhanced self-esteem and different ways to overcome life's adversities.

I offer child, adolescent, adult, couples, and family counseling that integrates multiple treatment modalities.
Are you currently struggling with your spouse? It just does not feel like it used to. Maybe you feel like you are growing apart rather than growing together. Perhaps you find yourself having the same arguments "over and over again." I can help to facilitate better communication, resolve past resentments, and create quality time and shared meaning. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed as a parent and just can't seem to do or say the right thing to help your child. Maybe your child or teen is shutting you out and you feel so helpless. I can assist as I offer child and adolescent therapy and incorporate a family component for treatment.

I will not see your child unless at the conclusion of our conversation I agree that your child actually needs to be seen and that given your description, I am the best child psychologist I know for the work.
This summer marks 37 years that I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with children and families in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas. Having grown up in Boston and trained at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital I need to disclose I am still a Red Sox fan. My expertise lies in rendering therapy to children and families and consulting with parents to help them make sense of and deal with the myriad of challenges that our children present. I do not conduct conduct Psychological/Educational Evaluations so if necessary I will refer families to our local experts.

I can help you to understand your child's learning issues, emotional challenges, and developmental stages.
Working with children and adolescents in the public schools has provided me with contacts and experience that I can use to help you manage what's best for your child. Learning difficulties are being looked at in new ways, especially in Florida and I can help you make sense of it. In addition, I have spent the last few years researching the effects of Sports Related Concussions on student-athletes and can provide consultation, baseline assessment, and follow-up for your child.

If you are burdened with self-defeating thoughts, depression, or guilt, inhibited by anxiety, challenged by your children, or when relationships do not yield the pleasure you desire, then the path to psychological health and satisfying relationships begins with a phone call.

Imagine how great it would be to watch your child become resilient in the face of their hardest challenges.
Do you worry your teen or young adult may be struggling? Maybe you've seen a change in their mood, grades or social situation?

Regardless of the obstacles, they deserve to feel good in their own skin. You deserve to sleep well at night. Let me help!
