Hi, I'm Dr. Jeff ​

 

If anxiety, anger, frustration, or sadness are getting in the way of your child's life at home, school, or with friends, I can help them feel calmer, more confident, and back on track. 

​

I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. I help each child and family understand what's really going on. This includes a careful, individualized way of helping where accuracy and good judgment truly matter. 

​

Now accepting new clients in Chester County and surrounding areas. Telehealth is also available in PSYPACT-participating states. 

 

I am happy to speak with you directly about how I can help. Click here

​​​​​​​​​​​​

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 my work with families.

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