Licensed Psychologist

"I find it very gratifying to be able to help moms and dads resolve the many stressors often faced by parents – from helping a child adjust to a new sibling, to coping with a divorce to confronting the challenges of each stage of development from early childhood through adolescence. I am thrilled when I can teach a parent that the choices they make really do make a difference in their child's life. My best advice: Parent thoughtfully and carefully but don't worry about small mistakes, kids are flexible!"
