A teacher who became a neuropsychologist.

Twenty-six years listening closely to children.

With twenty-six years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families, I bring a deep understanding and commitment to supporting young people with neurodevelopmental differences such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder. That experience spans an early career as a classroom teacher and my current work as a neuropsychologist. Respect, compassion, and careful attention to detail are at the core of my practice.

I strive to build meaningful connections with each individual and their family, addressing immediate concerns while remaining available as needs evolve. My approach combines clinical intuition and sensitivity to gather a comprehensive understanding of each child's cognitive, academic, and social-emotional profile. This process results in practical, individualized recommendations that empower families and schools to foster growth and resilience.

Before starting Bridging Gaps Psychology, I spent nearly fourteen years at the Child Mind Institute, where I served as a Senior Neuropsychologist, Director of Clinical Training, and later as Associate Clinical Director. I developed and led training programs for postdoctoral fellows, interns, externs, and students, and co-chaired the Visiting Professor Lecture Series, hosting leading clinical and research experts. My work also included curriculum development for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, co-authoring national and international mental health literacy and screening initiatives, and producing youth mental health guides now used worldwide.

My professional background spans public and private hospitals, specialized schools for children with learning disabilities, and multi-disciplinary group practices. I am an active speaker and educator, offering workshops for caregivers, educators, and professionals on reading development, neurodevelopment, learning disorders, and social-emotional wellbeing. I have contributed to published research and educational materials for national and international audiences.

I am committed to collaborating with families, educators, and other professionals so that each evaluation and intervention is tailored to the unique needs of the individual. My goal is to provide actionable insights and strategies that support children's growth, resilience, and success.
