I have been working for over 30 years as a clinical psychologist with children, adults and families. Over this period, I have developed expertise as an individual and couples psychotherapist, forensic child custody evaluator, as well as a parent coordinator and educator for divorcing families. Furthermore, I have been involved in training judges, attorneys, physicians and school personnel about the effect of divorce and child custody disputes.

Additionally, I work as a family specialist for families who are engaged in a collaborative divorce, and serve on the Board of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals. I also provide psychotherapy for clients who live all over the world which has allowed me to develop expertise in working virtually as well deepened my appreciation for cultural differences.
Services
I have had experience working with a wide array of individuals, couples and families since I began my doctoral program in clinical psychology over thirty years ago.
Having worked in a variety of settings including a child guidance clinic and an adolescent inpatient unit I have developed an expertise in dealing with teenagers and their parents during this complicated phase of their lives.
Likewise, I am highly versed in the challenges that college students and young adults face as they go through the transition into adulthood, as a staff psychologist at the SUNY Purchase College Counseling Center since 1998.
Collaborative divorce is a process in which separating couples and their children have the opportunity to transition to the next phase of their lives in a peaceful and cooperative manner.
To that end, a team of professionals is assembled that includes an attorney for each client and assistance from mental health practitioners and a neutral financial professional.
I joined the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals when it was first assembled as an interdisciplinary organization in 2006 and have been attended multiple trainings to enhance my understanding of the model.
As someone who has spent my career focusing on the needs of families, I am committed to the idea that the legal system should afford those who are in conflict a fair and just way to resolve differences, when other options are not feasible.
To that end, I received specialized training in Forensic Child Custody Evaluations and have been doing this work as a court appointed evaluator for over fifteen years.
When working on these cases it is my goal to focus on the best interest of the children.
I have conducted evaluations in Family and Supreme Courts for Westchester, Putnam, Queens and Dutchess Counties, and have been called to testify several times.
