I am a licensed clinical psychologist and infant mental health mentor.  I have been providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluations for infants, toddlers, young children and their parents for over 18 years.  My clinical work focuses on parent-child relationships, assessment and treatment of abused and/or neglected infants, toddlers and young children, including young children with attachment difficulties who have been adopted internationally from institutions and domestically through foster care.  I also work with adults to address issues related to childhood trauma and relationship difficulties.

I work with families who have a young child who is experiencing long and frequent tantrums, who has difficulties around separation and transitions, and/or who is experiencing difficulty in school or daycare. I also work with parents who have a child who frequently hits, kicks, bites or shows other aggressive behavior, are worried that their child is not eating or sleeping well, are worried that their own histories are getting in the way of their parenting, feel burdened by the demands of parenthood, and/or are worried about their parenting skills and would like support.
