Specialty
Workshops
I offer workshops and parent education talks focused on child development, school-related challenges, parenting, emotional well-being, and the social and academic pressures children and adolescents increasingly face. These presentations are informed by more than two decades of experience working with students, parents, teachers, and school communities in both clinical and school settings.
Workshops are designed to help parents, educators, and school communities better understand the emotional, behavioral, relational, and developmental factors that shape children's experiences both inside and outside of school. Presentations combine practical guidance with psychological insight and are intended to be thoughtful, accessible, and relevant to the realities families and schools navigate today.

- Parenting in academically competitive or high-pressure environments
- Anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation in children and adolescents
- Friendship, peer dynamics, and social challenges
- Communication between parents and schools
- Executive functioning, motivation, and study habits
- Building resilience and self-esteem

In addition to formal presentations, I also offer smaller discussion-based parent groups and workshops designed to create opportunities for reflection, conversation, and practical problem-solving around the challenges families commonly encounter across different developmental stages and school settings.
