With 20 years of experience as a school psychologist, I have worked with children and adolescents from elementary school through high school with a wide range of learning, attention, social-emotional, behavioral, and medical needs. I earned my bachelor's degree from Northeastern University and went on to earn a Master of Education (M.Ed.) and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS) in School Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Since becoming a school psychologist in 2006, I have spent the majority of my career with Winchester Public Schools and have also worked for the Northborough-Southborough Regional School District. I am also a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) through the Massachusetts Board of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions.

As an educational psychologist, I am passionate about conducting comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and helping families better understand how their child learns, processes information, and experiences the world. I believe an evaluation should do more than identify areas of difficulty. It should help families see the bigger picture. My goal is to identify each child's unique strengths and areas of need while providing meaningful, practical recommendations that can support success at school, at home, and beyond.

In addition to evaluations, I am deeply committed to helping children and adolescents develop the social-emotional skills that serve as a foundation for lifelong growth. Through SEL enrichment groups, I create engaging and supportive experiences where students can build self-awareness, emotional regulation, problem-solving skills, resilience, confidence, and healthy relationships. These experiences are designed to give young people practical tools to navigate challenges, advocate for themselves, and feel more confident in who they are.

Throughout my career, I have partnered closely with parents, educators, administrators, and related service providers to support each student's growth. Having spent two decades working within public schools, I have extensive knowledge of special education services, the evaluation process, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and Section 504 Plans. I have conducted countless evaluations, written IEPs, chaired eligibility and team meetings, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to help ensure students receive the supports they need.

As both an educational psychologist and the mother of four children, I understand that seeking answers for your child can feel overwhelming. My own daughter has dyslexia, giving me the unique perspective of sitting on both sides of the special education table as a school psychologist and as a parent and advocate. That experience has strengthened my commitment to creating a thoughtful, collaborative process where families feel heard, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

After more than 20 years in public education, I am excited to bring my experience, compassion, and passion for helping children and families to Threadline Psychological and Educational Services, PLLC. Through comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and social-emotional learning services, I strive to help children and families better understand the bigger picture, gain clarity, and find a path forward while building confidence, resilience, and connection along the way.
