Adolescence

Adolescence is a time of great change. Sometimes that change can be exciting. At other times, it can be incredibly challenging for the child (and the parent).

Friendships change, identities are explored, new passions develop and prior interests fade away. Academic demands increase as does the time commitment and competition of athletic and artistic pursuits. As all this change occurs, the child to parent relationship evolves which can sometimes be difficult for everyone involved.

Although some days (or weeks) are hard, they are followed by the joy that comes from figuring out one’s sense of purpose and passion.

Approach

My training as a psychologist includes many evidence-based treatment practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I tailor my treatment approach to the needs of the client. I balance clinical expertise with warmth and a sense of humor.

 

In-person and remote options

I have an office on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and also in Millerton, NY. Teletherapy is also available if that is preferable.
