Parenting is one of life's greatest adventures. Amid the numerous books, experts, and voices out there it can be difficult to determine what to do when faced with a challenge. Parents of spirited, high-energy, rigid, anxious, or disruptive children or of those who carry diagnoses may feel alone with their challenges. As your psychologist, I offer empathy, support and a collaborative approach for fostering goodness-of-fit parenting in your family. That is, I help you to discover the most effective ways for you to parent your unique child.
When you take care of yourself, you are best able to take care of others. Together, we'll explore your family's constellation of personalities, dynamics that have formed, what behaviors are communicating, and how to bring about real change in family relationships. Small shifts can make a huge difference.
I also specialize in the assessment and treatment of children with behavior, social and developmental concerns. Using standardized instruments, observations, and in-depth interviews, I create a comprehensive portrait of your child. I provide precise recommendations, guidance and support to bring about positive change at home and in school.
