I have been a school psychologist since 2007, working in pre-K-12 settings in two states (NY and PA). I've been a licensed psychologist in NY since 2018. I have years of experience as a CSE and 504 chairperson and Dignity Act coordinator. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families who want solutions for problems related to learning, dyslexia, anxiety, depression, or other difficulties.
I have specific expertise in neuropsychology, dyslexia, suicide prevention, & supporting LGBTQ+ students. I'm secretary of the NY Association of School Psychologists Executive Board & a member of the NYS Suicide Prevention Council, NYS Dyslexia & Dysgraphia Task Force, APA, National Association of School Psychologists, & International Dyslexia Association.
I use different therapeutic approaches, like CBT, Mindfulness-based techniques, behavioral activation, and humanistic approaches, to help children, adolescents, and young adults. I also offer comprehensive psychological evaluations and evidence-based recommendations for learning disabilities, Autism, ADHD, and emotional/behavioral disorders.
