Study skills and metacognitive assessments

I have developed interview protocols and assessments to gauge a student’s knowledge and application of age-appropriate study techniques and their level of developmental and cognitive maturation with regards to their understanding of their own learning.  I can also help parents with how to motivate their children to both learn and achieve.

Consultation and counseling for attention related issues, anxiety and stress-related behaviors

Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD?  Are you wondering if they might have an attention disorder?  Is your child exhibiting symptoms of anxiety or stress in social situations or about school?  Are you concerned about bullying or inappropriate use of social media.  I can help you understand these issues and recommend actions to help.
