About Me
With over 25 years of experience in the field and as an associate professor in school psychology, I specialize in remote psycho-educational assessment, consultation, and advocacy for learners across all age levels, including adults. My background spans virtual, charter, public, and non-public schools, with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices including Applied Behavior Analysis. I have extensive experience with IEP development, Section 504, and supporting those navigating the complex special education process.
My evaluations are comprehensive and individualized, with expertise in identifying learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dysgraphia, as well as ADHD, autism, and giftedness. I work with diverse populations and tailor each assessment to capture the student’s unique learning profile. Whether clarifying a diagnosis, guiding teams through eligibility decisions, or supporting intervention planning, my goal is to ensure every learner is seen, heard, and supported—with clarity and compassion.
