I am a Couple and Family Psychologist, Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology and licensed as a psychologist in the states of: Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington. 

I have assisted children and their families in schools, hospitals, child development clinics, early childhood centers, residential treatment centers, and private practice settings for the past 35 years, including eight years at one of the leading children’s hospitals in the United States. I have taught and trained psychology students, interns and post-doctoral fellows, as well as provided training for teachers, social workers, family therapists, and occupational, physical and speech-language therapists.

It has been a great privilege for me to have helped over 1000 families across the globe who have a child with special healthcare needs due to illness, disorder, impairment or disability. I continue to be both humbled and inspired by these children and youths, and their families. I have seen remarkable changes in their lives. 

My own family includes my husband of 37 years, our son and daughter, their spouses, and our three delightful grandchildren. Not to mention my 25 nieces and nephews who live across the far corners of the world, along with their respective parents and children! This is blessing that I do not take for granted.
