I have four beautiful children, the youngest is now 17. My oldest daughter has autism so I have extensive experience with special needs. I have implemented behavioral modification programs, nutritional interventions, sensory integration methods, augmentative communication systems, cognitive behavioral models, and other alternative therapies. I have also tutored a variety of students from kindergarten through 10th grade including students with ADHD, developmental disabilities, ESL, and gifted. I also home schooled my youngest son when the school system failed him. In addition to the tutoring, I have worked as a substitute teacher and a case manager for social services. I am very interested in education and very attuned to child development. I have my Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College where I interned in school counseling and psychiatry. My undergraduate degree is in psychology from Stanford University. I am very fit, active, and fun. I do private counseling and set my own schedule so I have flexible availability. I would consider it both a great privilege and responsibility to be entrusted with the care of your precious child/children.
