FAQ

Where is the office located?
I have office spaces in Philadelphia and the Bethlehem area. However, I can also offer most of my services remotely or in your home. Generally, this is preferred.
What are your office hours?
I try to flex to the needs of the people with whom I work.
What do I do to get started?
All you need to do is call me or send an email. There’s no charge to see if my services are a good fit, so please don’t hesitate to ask!
Can I cancel an appointment? Do you have a cancellation policy?
I generally have a 24-hour cancellation policy – unless you are sick or there’s an emergency.
How long have you been in practice?

I’ve been working with folks who have differences in their development, and loving it, for over 20 years.

I’ve also published research articles and book chapters and directed clinical training programs at R1 research universities and behavioral health centers.

What are your strengths as a coach/ clinician?

I’m kind, direct, and rather casual. I take pride in partnering with the people with whom I work.

I really understand people in context. I have the academic credentials, but more importantly, I “get” autism and ADHD for different ages, genders, cultures, and races and take a trauma-informed approach.

I’m an expert in early child development and relationship-building caregiver coaching.

Since I have a background in schools and clinics, I understand the impact of a diagnosis, not just at the time of the diagnosis but in the future.

What do you enjoy about being a coach/clinician?
I love that I get to help people find the best versions of themselves and achieve their goals. It really is an honor that people allow me to be a part of their lives.
What is your educational background?
I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and a certificate in infant mental health. I’m also a school psychologist.
