I am a registered clinical and educational psychologist. I provide assessments and consultation for children, adolescents, families, and adults. My services can be provided in English or American Sign Language (ASL).
In addition to private practice, I have been the Chief Psychologist for the Provincial and Demonstration Schools Branch of the Ministry of Education. This encompassed the demonstration schools for students with severe learning disabilities, schools for the Deaf, and school for the Blind. In this role, I was a member of The Association of Psychology Leaders in Ontario Schools (APLOS), and participated in the subcommittee for standardizing the identification process of learning disabilities throughout Ontario. I provide psychological (i.e. mental health) and psychoeducational (i.e. learning skills) assessments for students from kindergarten through graduate school.
My doctorate is in clinical psychology, with additional training in services for children and adolescents. I am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I have been a member of the Ontario Psychological Association, American Psychological Association, Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and Mensa.
Prior to my work in private practice and with the Ministry, I provided hospital and outpatient services at the University of Illinois Family Clinic (Chicago), Ravenswood Hospital (Chicago), Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center (Chicago), and Gallaudet University (Washington, DC). I also taught undergraduate students at Columbia College Chicago (a university in the US).
I have additional training and experience in providing fair and valid services for people who are Deaf, Blind, and Deafblind. I have experience working with clients who span a wide range of cultural backgrounds, religions, orientations, gender identities, and abilities. You are encouraged to ask me about my knowledge and familiarity with your own background and individual needs.
To pursue any services that I offer, please contact me. We shall discuss your needs briefly by phone or video chat. If appropriate, we shall arrange a follow-up meeting or first session in person.
