I am currently offering my services as a behavior coach. I am have a Masters of Social Work degree from Columbia University and have over 10 years of experience working with children with special needs. I specialize in working with children who have behavioral needs such as difficulties socializing with peers, aggressive behaviors (screaming, biting, kicking, hitting, head banging), challenges with potty-training (regression/encopresis/enuresis), defiance (refusing prompting, temper tantrums, tantrums in public) and sensory processing and communication disorders. I previously have worked as a behavioral therapist, clinical therapist (intern), and a therapeutic behavioral services coach with children with severe needs (autism, PTSD, developmentally delayed, oppositional- etc.) I also have experience working with children who have had prenatal substance abuse exposure and have a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

    My wife and I have used Mary's services on numerous occasions. Mary is bright, educated, and professional. She always does exactly as we ask, but goes above and beyond to ensure everything is tidy and neat for when we get home. Mary is also extremely engaging with the kids. Our 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter absolutely adore her. I would highly recommend Mary and would not hesitate to reach out to her first when we need assistance.
