About me

IMG_2971I am a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist serving children, adolescents and families in Brooklyn, New York.

I have been working with children for over 20 years in a variety of roles and settings, including as a high school teacher, educational researcher in a university research center, school psychologist in preschool and elementary school settings, and psychologist in private practice.

For several years I worked in developmental therapeutic preschools in Brooklyn providing play therapy and collaborating with teachers and parents to facilitate the best outcomes for the children I worked with.

I truly love working with young people and helping them reach past their obstacles to achieve happiness, well-being, and confidence. I also have a passion for working directly with parents and helping them solve their parenting challenges. I am a NYC native and have lived in Park Slope for many years with my partner and two kids.
