MY SPECIALTIES

Therapeutic Tutoring
​

Therapeutic Tutoring is a solution for children who are having difficulty achieving their full potential in school. Students may have reduced motivation for school, declining interest or declining grades. These children may present with anxiety and/or depression, emotional stress, attention and focus difficulties or behavioral challenges related to distant, asynchronous or synchronous learning. Many of my clients have executive functioning skill challenges that prevent them from fully accessing online curriculum. or making them particularly vulnerable to catching up following distance learning.

​

Via therapeutic tutoring, students will have the opportunity to work safely 1:1 in their homes on academic material that is challenging or causes resistance. I utilize the child’s assigned academic curriculum or supplemental curriculum to target the skills needed to become a more confident and compliant learner. In addition, I consult with parents on strategies related to managing their child’s learning.

Behavior Assessment 

 

Have your child’s teachers asked for strategies to better meet your child’s unique set of needs?

I provide assessment and evaluation of behaviors across environments and share results via a behavioral evaluation report.  

Assessments can include:

  • Collecting and analyzing data to look at the interrelatedness of antecedent components of behavior, the consequences of the behavior, and the behavioral function.

  • Identifying the behavior’s reinforcing factors

  • Determining appropriate recommendations and services necessary for intervention.

​​

Behavior Consultation
​

Do you feel that you need help identifying a consistent means of discipline in your home?
 

I come to the environment in which the behaviors are occurring and work to provide:

  • Collaborative development and implementation of a systematic behavioral intervention plan appropriate for the environment.

  • Direct modeling, coaching, and monitoring of strategies and interventions.

  • Consultation and collaboration with treatment team members.

Therapeutic Services

​

I provide individual therapy to children ages 2-13 who are experiencing internal or external struggles relating to school, family, friends, or daily life. I also work with children who have experienced a traumatic event. Via play  therapy, I work with children to:

​

• Increase frustration tolerance
• Improve response to directives
• Develop independence, self-advocacy skills, and self-control
• Strengthen social and emotional skills

• Help the child identify and utilize coping strategies 
• Reduce the child’s symptoms relating to his, her or their diagnosis of ADD, ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, Depression, or other concerning issues.

Early Learner Readiness
​
Are you concerned that your child is not quite ready for formal Kindergarten due to separation anxiety, delayed speech, social or behavioral issues?
I design a tailored program and work one-on-one with your child in your home to ensure a successful transition from pre-school to kindergarten.
 
Programs are built around the most crucial elements of the kindergarten curriculum, including:
  • Establishing phonemic awareness
  • Developing letter-sound correspondence
  • Increasing word recognition
  • Introducing the reading cueing systems
  • Developing hand-writing mechanics
  • Introduction to basic mathematical concepts
  • Social and emotional awareness
  • Social interaction skills
