        Since beginning at Palatine High School in 1999, my responsibilities as a School Psychologist have evolved.  While my central responsibility is to provide assessments to students for whom an Individualized Educational Program may be necessary, recent years have also indicated the need for consultative services for both teachers and students in developing and implementing interventions for students with behavioral or academic concerns. Additionally, I also provide direct therapeutic service for students within a group or individual setting.  I am currently running a Girl’s Group and a Mother’s  group.   I also serve as a liaison between outside services (hospital programs, private therapists, schools) and Palatine High School.
