Her research explores parenting challenges, including work and family; children’s play and emotional development; sleep and separation; how emotion influences early memory; and child trauma, including the impact of 9/11.

She has been called the ‘toddler whisperer’ by Good Morning America and received the 2017 Mosaic Mental Health professional honoree award for excellence in early childhood.
