Therapist Overview
I hold a Ph.D. from Boston College (Developmental & Educational Psych) and a Masters in Counseling (USJ). I am certified by the State of Connecticut as a School Psychologist and have over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in hospitals, private practice and school settings. I offer Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, individual counseling, family therapy and play-based therapy. I am available to assist families to evaluate, among other items, special educational needs (PPT/ IEP) and 504 accommodation plans. I am accepting new patients in Old Saybrook. I have significant expertise in designing, conducting and evaluating Psychological testing. I am available to assist families and school districts in educational consultations to evaluate Special Education needs (Planning and Placement Team meetings, Individual Education Plans, Behavior Management Plans), as well as offering consults regarding 504 plans. Please reach out if you are a parent of a student involved in the special education process and may be looking for help in navigating the complex system. I have helped many families in my role as a school psychologist and I am excited to offer my expertise as a consultant.
