About me...
I have over 25 years of experience working in the fields of education and psychology. Prior to becoming an educational psychologist in private practice, I spent several years working in school settings.
In addition to my formal education and professional training, my work experience as a teacher, coach, student advisor, counselor, learning specialist, and school psychologist has given me a deep understanding of child and adolescent development.
Given my extensive background in both education and psychology, I am uniquely qualified to not just assess a student’s strengths and weaknesses, but to also provide guidance to families and schools in implementing support plans to help struggling students to thrive.
I also offer parent coaching and counseling services, and I belong to an extensive network of professionals who work as therapists, tutors, executive functioning/ADHD coaches, and psychiatrists, so I am able to provide referrals as needed.
