Professional Expertise and Understanding
I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist and Licensed Dyslexia Therapist with a master’s degree in counseling. I have worked with children, adolescents, and families in educational, therapeutic, and private-practice settings for more than 25 years.
I also understand learning differences personally. I grew up with severe dyslexia, ADHD, a visual-processing disorder, and a receptive-language disorder. I know how it feels to work hard and still struggle—and how powerful it can be when someone recognizes your strengths and teaches you in a way that finally makes sense.
My counseling background helps me look beyond a student’s academic difficulty. I consider confidence, motivation, frustration, anxiety, self-advocacy, and family concerns as part of the larger picture.
My goal is not simply to help a student complete an assignment or pass a test. It is to help that student become a more capable, confident, and independent learner.
