I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York, with specialization in the treatment of anxiety and depression in children , adolescents, young adults, and families. Other areas of specialty include providing parenting support and helping young adults navigate major transitions and reach appropriate milestones.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treatment of children , adolescents and young adults from a family systems perspective. This means that I provide support not only to the identified individual seeking therapy, but I strongly consider the needs of all individuals within the family dynamic. I work from a relational perspective and provide long-term individualized mental health treatment and care. I understand that the idea of engaging in therapy can be an anxiety provoking experience and I always allow the client to lead in terms of the pace and the depth of treatment.

Clients who seek my services are interested in making measurable quality of life changes. Emotional distress and conflict can create significant obstacles to psychological and overall well-being. Whether a child , an adolescent, adult, or family, conflict can lead to behavioral problems, abuse of alcohol or other substances, difficulty establishing and sustaining close relationships, and a loss of vision or purpose for one's life. Psychotherapy becomes the process from which a person uncovers conflict, explores barriers, identifies options, and pursues paths of change.

In my 40 year career, I have focused on the educational, social and emotional needs of children in the preschool and elementary years. You may have concerns about your child 's development. School personnel may be recommending an evaluation by a psychologist to clarify your child 's challenges. You may feel that the school district is not adequately responsive to your child 's needs, and want to learn how to navigate the special education system. You may be looking to supplement a psychological evaluation completed by the school. As a parent, you may be feeling overwhelmed and seek guidance to support your child 's development.

I do individual psychotherapy with adults, children and adolescents, and couples and families. I work with my clients to improve their relationships and aspects of their personalty and feelings about themselves; to better manage and understand emotions such as depressed mood and anxiety; and to reduce problems with partners, children , and co-workers. I typically use an integrative approach that incorporates psychodynamic and cognitive principles, and my clients and I construct a climate that feels safe for examining the difficult emotions, thoughts, and situations that have interfered with their pleasure and satisfaction.

I am trained as a child psychologist and am also an individual and couple's therapist. I bring a knowledge of nonverbal communication research, infant research, mindfulness practice, and relationship research to the work that I do with couples and families. I am an experienced Divorce Coach and Child Specialist in Collaborative Divorce, as well as a trained mediator and negotiator. I focus on system dynamics in relationships, be they partner, family or business relationships, and strive to help people cope with conflict engagement. I'm also available for consultation for witness preparation.

I am an artist, art educator, and board certified art therapist, based in SE Connecticut. My approach is influenced by strengths-based and positive psychology, as well as methods of art-based inquiry. Aside from art therapy, my background is in experiential education and community building. I have worked with all ages, from very young children to seniors, in a variety of media. My current studio space is inside the Silvermine Arts Center in New Canaan, CT, as well as homes and schools in Connecticut.
