I have a Masters in Teaching from Columbia University’s Teachers College and a Bachelors from Boston University’s School of Education. I always wanted to teach, and I was lucky enough to find that I had a knack for helping people understand.

After ten years in the classroom, I became increasingly drawn towards working with kids one-on-one and curious how to best help the students I saw who were having a lot of difficulty doing well in school. Who was out there helping those kids? I started trying to find out and my research led me to the Association of Educational Therapists. I was lucky enough to be accepted into a post-Masters certificate program in Educational Therapy being run out of Curry College’s academic success program.

The following year, I started my private practice, and my real education began. I have learned a ton from the struggling young men and women I’ve had the privilege to work with, and from their parents, too. I have also gotten expert guidance from my colleagues in AET all over the country, and am proud to have completed the many hours of professional mentoring, written case study and ethics exam that made up the rigorous board certification process. In 2012 I became Connecticut’s first and, at this writing, still the only board certified educational therapist in the state of Connecticut.
