About
I love working with families to best understand the unique gifts or talents of each child and overcome any possible barriers that might interfere with learning. My services include individualized assessments (e.g. attention, executive functioning, academic achievement) as well as small group instruction in executive functioning using evidenced based interventions.
My assessment reports are carefully written so that families can readily recognize in the detailed findings a clear picture of their own child’s strengths and weaknesses. I hold a degree in Psychology and Elementary Education from Brandeis University. I completed my Master of Education degree with advanced certification in School Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University and completed my clinical apprenticeship in Manhattan.The best part of my work is working with children and seeing them make progress in their goals. I believe that learning is a very personal activity. It is best supported through connections made in the moment and with the support of skilled and caring instructors who know the content well but also have great interpersonal skills.
