I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents. I also provide Parent Management Training (PMT)- an evidence-based treatment program for families who find their child’s behavior difficult to handle. I help both children and parents become more skillful in managing their emotions.
I have received extensive training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure Therapy for anxiety, and mindfulness-based treatment. My approach to treatment is goal oriented, time-limited and skills-based. I take a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach to patterns of behavior that may be inhibiting your child from living life to their fullest potential.
My office is conveniently located in the Tribeca, close to the Battery Park City area.
