Professional History

I have worked at the Boston Children's Hospital at the Martha Eliot for the last 28 years. I also have maintained a private practice in Cambridge for 27 years.

Publications

I believe in providing families and youth with excellent comprehensive care that includes families and communities that can improve a child's well-being. To do so I not only help children by using the most advanced and effective treatments available, but I also help families learn behavioral strategies to most effectively manage their child. I have often found that enhancing families' strengths rather than solely addressing a child's dysfunctional behavior leads to better outcomes. In addition. I am able to provide culturally competent care, Finally, I am bilingual and can speak Spanish fluently.
