Welcome! I am a certified School Psychologist that services students throughout the district, but you will primarily find me at Lyndhurst High School. I am a graduate of Fairfield University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and minored in English. I received my Masters in Psychology and certificate in School Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teacneck Campus. My training focused on mental health, child development, learning, motivation, and psychological assessment.
Working with children is something that I knew I was meant to do from an early age . As a member of the child study team, I work with students with disabilities, acting as a liason between the student, parent, staff, and community to ensure that the child achieves success in school. As the school psychologist, I am available to support children through emotional difficulties that they may experience in school. I promote positive mental health and effective environments for learning. At Lyndhurst High School, I provide a berievement group for students that have experienced loss of an immediate family member.
Please feel free to contact me at Lyndhurst High School. I am located in Special Services, Room 135.
