I believe in the power of our therapeutic relationship, the ultimate yet genuine collaborative problem solving process. Together we will create positive change. I draw from my diverse psychology experiences, spanning schools, hospitals, day treatment programs, assessment centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice to tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. My focus is providing concrete life skills while working through underlying issues and improving our everyday relationships. I view relationships as essential for helping to create change. The office has a room for testing and therapy and another for play therapy and PCIT. I perform comprehensive neuropsychological assessments and provide individual therapy, parenting skills, parent-child therapy, academic skill building, and family therapy including specialization in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a therapeutic intervention that provides live coaching to caregivers and their children, whose behavioral difficulties can cause stress at home and school. In addition to English, I speak Portuguese, and am proficient in Spanish and Hebrew. My diverse background allows me a unique ability to foster positive change in a nonjudgmental, warm, and supportive setting so that you or your loved one can lead a secure, happy life.
