I help families thrive by simplifying the world of child development research. I want to make parenting fun! I do this in line with your values as a family, and respectful of who you are as a parent and who your child is individually and in their stage of development. My goal for each parent is that he or she leaves with clear, concrete, research-based ideas that can be implemented to help their family flourish.
I am a developmental psychologist and mom of three lively kids. My research focuses on parenting and child development, and I share that knowledge in a simple, clear way.
I earned my Ph.D. from Columbia University and worked on numerous studies related to parenting, children, and families. I am also a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and Gottman Bringing Baby Home Educator.
My current passion is working with families and schools to simplify the often puzzling world of research and tailor our current knowledge to fit your unique family and kids.
