My Specialities

I'm a Brooklyn-based psychologist with a doctorate in educational psychology and over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and families across schools, research settings, and private practice. I specialize in helping young people build confidence and resilience, and I’m passionate about supporting parents in navigating the challenges of raising emotionally healthy kids.

I received my doctorate in educational psychology from the CUNY Graduate Center. I completed my psychological training in developmental therapeutic preschools in Brooklyn as a school psychologist. In that role I conducted testing and evaluations, provided counseling, play therapy, and parent and teacher consultations, as well as ran social skills trainings and groups.

Beyond my training, I have worked with children for over 25 years in a variety of roles and settings. These have included working as a high school teacher in public schools, educational researcher in a CUNY university research center, school psychologist in preschool, elementary and middle school settings, and psychologist in private practice.

I truly love working with young people and helping them reach past their obstacles to achieve stability, 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 live in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my wife, two kids, and bernadoodle, Cindy.
