Parenting can be joyful. Parenting can be connecting intimately. Parenting can be emotionally moving. But it is difficult, complicated, confusing and challenging.

As a pioneer and expert in Parent Counseling, I teach a comprehensive, skill-based approach focused on providing scientific principles to help parents implement their core parenting values. I help parents integrate their values and goals for their child with psychologically proven principles and strategies shown to help children develop healthy self-esteem and healthy character in relationships and in schoolwork.

 

For 25 years I offered a free-of-charge parenting workshop, consisting of 40 hours of experiential training, to thousands of parents who lived in the Bergen County, NJ, and the New York Metropolitan area. I created a several hundred-page Workbook entitled “Growing As A Parent,” which taught a comprehensive array of parenting skills needed to develop psychologically healthy children. I have also, more recently, written a short book for parents, “Parenting With Wisdom and Skill: A Practical Guidebook,” which offers concrete guidance to parents on how to raise psychologically healthy children who develop into young adults with strong and successful character in relationships and work.

​

In addition to making workshops and writings readily available, I have offered Parent Counseling to parents in the NYC/Bergen County area for the past 40 years. I have also recently opened an office in Bend, Oregon, to serve parents and adults in the Bend Community.
