Lighting your way through special education.
When you want to take a smoother, less stressful path through a difficult process that leads to a high quality educational program, tailored to your child's unique strengths and needs, I am here.
Unlike most advocates, I am a licensed school psychologist with many years of dedicated practice in special education.

Advocacy at your sideProblem Solving
Some situations are more complicated than others. When agreement cannot be met I will provide you with strategies to help facilitate solutions as well as offer non-legal guidance through dispute resolution options.

My Work Begins!

At the table
You go in prepared, collaborative and clear about what your child needs.
Yes, I know these can be tough.
Throughout my career I administered thousands of psychological evaluations, hundreds of achievement assessments, and participated in countless IEP and 504 meetings. As such, I am qualified to analyze clinical data and interpret evaluation findings for you — clearly, concisely, and in plain language — so you can fully understand and appreciate your child's evaluation profile.
This is paramount to effective advocacy. It is the knowledge that equips you to make meaningful contributions at your child's IEP meetings. Without it you are left to feel in the dark — and digesting lengthy reports, grasping complex information and deciphering assessment data on your own can trigger stress, anxiety and frustration. Allow me to lighten this aspect of your special education journey.
Understanding evaluation reports builds your confidence and empowers you as a parent.

Your insight and contributions are invaluable. You should feel highly respected at school meetings.
