I am a firm believer in encouraging positivity, bolstering self-efficacy, and cultivating independence in others. My typical client is a child, adolescent, or young adult (age 3 to 29) who may be struggling academically, socially, or with developing effective emotional coping skills. Often, the individuals I see have difficulty with attention, concentration, organization, and with meeting the daily demands required of them at school. I also offer much support to parents who may be frustrated with their attempts at connecting with their kids and who are in need of guidance relating to discipline techniques and behavior management.
Psychotherapy and Psychological Testing: Therapy (play therapy for youngsters) follows cognitive-behavioral framework; goals involve bolstering independence/self-esteem. Psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations help to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, and emotional problems. Testing is also used to assess eligibility for extra time on SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, etc.
I work to facilitate clients' own ability to ultimately help themselves. Now seeing new clients in NYC (UWS) and Middlesex County, NJ (East Brunswick). If you are a parent, child, adolescent, or young adult who is struggling, please contact me so I can do my best to help you out.
