My expertise is working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with some aspect of learning or who have learning disabilities. Is your child struggling to learn to read? Does your child struggle to work up to her potential? Does your child struggle to complete his school work in the allotted time? Is your child smart, yet, he does not seem to be engaged in school? Does your child struggle to pay attention in school, or when completing homework? Does your child need help in school, but you have been told that she does not qualify for services? Are you in disagreement with the school's evaluation of your child?
Your child might benefit from a psychoeducational evaluation that provides you with information and support. I conduct psychoeducational evaluations that include an in-depth analysis of one’s cognitive/learning profile, a thorough academic evaluation, and a social-emotional screening. The evaluation is conducted in a manner that works best for your child.
My office is in Cambridge, MA. I have worked with students in the local private schools, the local public schools, as well as students attending college or graduate school. In addition to conducting evaluations, I am available for consultation. I welcome hearing from you and learning about how I might best be of help.

Parent Support Groups for Parents of LD Children
The inevitable challenges associated with parenting a learning disabled child may be rich opportunities for personal growth. We explore these opportunities in a structured, and supportive group environment. Participation in a parent support group provides three forms of support: 1) Time/space for reflection; 2) Supportive feedback from other parents who have had similar experiences; 3) Essential information (e.g., how do I set limits with my child, how can I support my child with her reading difficulties?). Parent support groups are semi-structured, with guided activities and time for focused conversation. Meetings are held on site or via Zoom.
