ABOUT

I specialize in autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and their impact on the family system, which includes both challenges to marital intimacy, as well as the challenges of parenting children with unique social and emotional needs while simultaneously parenting with neurotypical needs. This is known as a neurodiverse family systems and may also include neurodiverse parenting styles. I also work extensively with launching challenges within the transition to adulthood. This is in addition to my regular practice as a traditional Bowenian family systems therapist working with individual, couples, and families. 

I am also an acclaimed mental health journalist and have been writing articles to increase community awareness of mental health issues for over 21 years. I am the author of two parenting books, “Mother in Progress” (Targum), & “Mother In Action” (Menucha Press), and a psycho-educational novel “Into the Whirlwind”, and am currently at work on a fourth book about autistic spectrum disorders.
