I am a Licensed Psychologist located in Boca Raton, Florida, and I specialize in Child Psychology. It is my passion to work with children of all ages to help them reach their full potential and to become self-confident, happy, and well-adjusted. My thirty-plus years of experience educating, counseling, and treating the various psychological issues that children and families sometimes experience have given me the knowledge and skills to help children when psychological intervention is needed.
This summer marks 33 years that I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with children and families in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas. Having grown up in Boston and trained at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital I need to disclose I am still a Red Sox fan. My expertise lies in rendering therapy to children and families and consulting with parents to help them make sense of and deal with the myriad of challenges that our children present.
I do not conduct Psychological/Educational Evaluations so if necessary I will refer families to our local experts.

Services
Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.
Parental Consultation is a type of service that aims to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most especially support to parents without bias or judgment.
I begin by asking couples to think of two couples they know that got divorced; one couple that treated each other with civility.
Certainly children must be kept safe from parents who are physically, sexually and/or emotionally abusive.

For years comedians have posed the question, "Why don't children come with manuals?"
In fact, in today's highly technological society, shouldn't we be able to go on Youtube to find the answers to the myriad of challenges we face as parents?
I wish it were that simple.
Raising mature, confident, and competent kids is perhaps the most significant challenge you will ever take on.
Consider this simple fact - What if you and your child have different personalities?
Now add to that the countless critical factors that come into play multiple times a day, and you will understand why so many parents look back wistfully at very challenging careers and state, Wow!

I begin by asking couples to think of two divorced couples they know.
One couple that treated each other with civility and who worked to keep the children out of the process.
The other couple who treated each other with disdain and hostility and dragged their children right into the fray.
Folks, Divorce is a number line, and you are going to fall somewhere on the line.
Where you end up is in your control.
Divorce in and of itself does not harm children; instead, it is how parents go about the process that either allows their children to continue to grow and flourish or become anxious and overwhelmed with sometimes horrific results.
