As a licensed school psychologist working with children, teens and young adults for over 20 years in both private and school settings, my experience has given me the opportunity to learn about what promotes mental wellness, independence and executive skills in today's youth. As a father of two children, it's been an interesting journey to see how current factors impact their development and socialization. My focus has primarily been on the assessment and treatment of learning and attention disorders, autism, ADHD, anxiety and depression. Over the course of my 20+ years working with children and families, it's been my mission to ensure that children grow up to be independent, productive, emotionally healthy young adults who know how to self-advocate for themselves, problem solve, communicate and build strong relationships with others.
