"I am an Educational Psychologist, holding a PhD in Clinical Social Work, and 2 Master's degrees; 1 in Counseling Psychology, the other in Spiritual Growth and Development. I currently am self-employed working with children who have been displaced from the mainstream educational system due to their mental health issues. My goal is to provide individualized education, while focusing on curtailing problem behaviors in a positive manner so that re-integration to the public education system can occur.

I have over 15 years experience working in the field of Counseling and Social Work. I have worked in a variety of settings, including: college mental health, inpatient psychiatric, outpatient psychiatric, crisis evaluation, Emergency Room, Hospice and Palliative care, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and elementary/middle schools. I have spent much of my career working to educate others to ensure that we are all providing the best possible services available to our clients, no matter their circumstances.

While working with students, my first goal is to find out what learning style/s are best for that student. I utilize a very positive, encouraging, Person-centered approach to tutoring, to facilitate a learning environment that supports growth and knowledge development." less...
