Enhancing learning, as well as improving students’ self-esteem and self-confidence are most important to me.  My expertise is supporting a family in various ways when their child experiences difficulties in his or her academics. My relationship with a family may start at the beginning of their child’s academic career, or anytime through high school.  Sometimes a child may need help in a specific academic area, or the support may be more global, as in study skills. In my practice, the majority of students have a diagnosed learning disability, such as dyslexia, non-verbal learning disability, executive function weaknesses, or a language-based disability. My eclectic approach to helping students serves my clients well. I strive to find the “best of the best practices”…those that are successful for the student I am working with at that time.  I rarely use a published program as it is scripted or in its entirety because I see each student as an individual and believe that no two students learn the exact same way.  Therefore, I pride myself on adapting and modifying various programs and strategies to meet the needs of the individual.
