Hello! I am a Licensed Social Worker, PCI Certified Parent Coach® and Certified Trainer in the Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) approach by Think:Kids, a program based at the Department of Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

I work with parents struggling with any parenting challenge, from getting a child to sleep to addressing parent-teen conflict.

I work one-on-one with parents virtually or in my Montclair, New Jersey, office. I offer programs to schools (public and independent), pediatrician offices, professional organizations, and corporate meetings.

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

First, we worked together to create some goals. They were a mixed bag—some specific and others more general, but with Maria's help I learned to break them down into manageable actions. Maria helped me identify this hurdle and soon I felt empowered and encouraged to achieve these goals. Before working with Maria, I was just overwhelmed by them. It only took a few short months, but by the end I had crossed everything off my list, and it felt wonderful.

Maria is a compassionate, skilled and empathetic coach who I would highly recommend to everyone looking for parenting help.

Thank you so much for giving us the right tools to help us be the parents that are able to help our children thrive, and aid us in raising our girls to be happy well-adjusted kids. From the first few minutes of our first phone call to the last, Maria stepped right in asking the right questions that addressed the issues head-on and guided me to think of the solutions and steps necessary to get the results I envisioned. Not only did Maria help with my concerns about parenting, but she helped to self reflect on my life to better every aspect of it. She was flexible with her schedule, always available for us, trustworthy, dependable, and more importantly, she regularly encouraged us that we were doing the right thing for our daughter and for our family.
