These therapies give your child the chance to work through their feelings without the pressure of having to talk, which can often feel overwhelming.
As a parent, it’s incredibly difficult to watch your young child struggle, especially when you’re not sure how to help. You may have noticed changes in their behavior—frequent meltdowns, becoming unusually clingy or withdrawn, or anxious over small changes in routine. They might seem easily frustrated or overly sensitive. Signs of stress, like trouble sleeping, stomachaches, or changes in appetite, may also appear. It’s hard to see your child struggle at school, with friends, or at home, leaving you feeling unsure of what to do.

When treating children, adolescents, and adults, the objective is to reinforce adaptive behaviors, enhance function, and improve relationships.
Compassion is one key used in treating children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other difficulties together with their parents. In addition to guiding children to strategies to manage adversity, I teach parents how to reinforce these tactics at home between sessions. With this method, children improve quicker than they would with just one hour per week of treatment.

My experience spans decades, as a teacher of children and adolescents with emotional and learning difficulties, then as a school-based clinician, and later as a practicing clinical psychologist for hospitals and counseling centers.
As a practicing psychologist licensed in New York State, I specialize in adolescents and their families. No matter how difficult or seemingly hopeless the situation, I work in a collaborative atmosphere to absorb clients' experiences and cultivate untapped resources in youth and families. I deal with a spectrum of psychological issues commonly related to youth and adults. The concerns may range from problems with mood, identity, adjusting to new situations, self-image, school, peer or adult relationships, impulsivity, communication or competence, to risk-taking, family crises and pressing circumstances of violence and anti-social behavior. These I approach from an attitude of possibility and positivity.

Particularly when it comes to children and teens, it’s crucial to meet them where there are.
Navigating the world of childhood and adolescence can be both exciting and challenging! I believe therapy for this age group isn’t just about addressing problems and providing unconditional support - it's about fostering growth, building resilience, and unlocking potential. With over 8 years of experience working as a School Social Worker, I have significant experience helping young people navigate everything from developmental and transitional challenges to academic stress and behavioral issues to family dynamics and mental health concerns, like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism.
