I offer developmental and psychological evaluations for children from 8 months to 5 years of age, specializing in the very early diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and identifying gifted preschoolers, as well as psychotherapy for adults addressing anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, life transitions, and related concerns.

Yes. I am fully bilingual and provide both evaluations and psychotherapy in English and Spanish, so you and your family can work in the language that feels most comfortable.

I see clients in person at my centrally located New York City office, and I offer telehealth psychotherapy across all of New York and New Jersey. Early childhood evaluations are conducted in person or by telehealth.

I evaluate children between 8 months and up to 5 years of age, observing and assessing their developmental, social, and communication skills in a language and setting comfortable for them and your family. Afterwards, I provide a clear report and recommendations you can use to try to access services privately, or via the Early Intervention Program (EIP) or Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE).

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and trauma-informed interventions, tailoring the approach to what works best for you.

You can contact me by email to arrange an initial consultation for either a child evaluation or adult therapy. From there, we will talk about your needs and whether we are a good fit.

No. I do not provide emergency or crisis services. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call 911, or call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

I take your privacy seriously and handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including HIPAA. When we begin, I will explain confidentiality and the limits of communication, including email and telehealth.

I specialize in the very early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, offer care in both English and Spanish, via telehealth or in person, and bring over 25 years of experience with advanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Above all, I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel understood.

I am glad to discuss fees and payment when we first connect. A sliding fee scale may be available on a limited, case-by-case basis.
