Hi, I’m Dr. Jeff.

​​​

For over 30 years, I’ve helped children, teens, young adults, and families work through anxiety, anger, and frustration that are making life harder at home, at school, or with friends. I focus on practical strategies that help kids feel calmer, more confident, and back on track. 

​​​​​​​​​​​

I also write books for parents, including Freeing Your Child From Overthinking and 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child, both based on the same practical approach I use in counseling.

​​​​

​​​​​

I was honored to have received the 2025 Distinguished Psychologist Award from PSCP: The Psychology Network, recognizing my work with children, families, and the field of psychology.​​
