My Story

 

I am a licensed school psychologist in the state of Florida with expertise in gifted, learning disabilities and ADHD. For over 30 years, I have enjoyed working with schools, children, parents, and teachers in public and private settings. I taught middle school and was an assistant principal, before becoming a school psychologist. I have been an adjunct professor in the graduate Counseling Department at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Currently, I maintain a private practice in Hobe Sound, Florida, offering intelligence testing and consultation on school-related problems, ADHD, and school choice.

 

I have authored two and co-authored five books to help parents understand issues facing children including ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, stress, and most importantly, how to support their development. In 2012, I was honored to be selected Florida School Psychologist of the Year by the Florida Association of School Psychologists. My passion for helping children has come out of my own life experience. My oldest child, Neal, died at two years of age from neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer that occurs in babies and young children. Losing a life so full of promise reinforced the value and dignity of every human life and probably ignited my passion to help parents guide their children to their best life. Let's work together to identify your child's strengths, challenges, and any supports needed to equip them for success.
