Experience

Psychotherapist, Developmental Specialist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker,

Speech Pathologist: Practice for Reflective Parenting, New York,

N.Y.January 1992-Present: Founding partner in this enhanced psychotherapy

practice which incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach to the

understanding of parent and child relationships and development. With

licenses in clinical social work and speech-language pathology, I bring a

unique and vast lens to my work with families, parents, children, and

schools. Provide in-depth, informal assessment of children from birth

through 5years to determine the best plan to resolve developmental

challenges. I blend concrete interventions with more process oriented

approaches to address issues of challenging behavior, anxiety, depression,

sleep, toileting, inattention, poor social skills, school difficulties,

poor transitions and regulatory challenges. I work in a holistic,

relationally and developmentally informed way to provide children, parents,

and schools tools to address obstacles to optimal academic, social and

emotional development.
