I'm a psychologist licensed in New York State and am certified as a school psychologist. I've been working at Farmingdale School District since 1997 where, in addition to my job description, I train both masters and doctoral level students as part of their internship experience.Since 2002, I've maintained a private practice with offices in both the north and south shores of Long Island, New York. I've earned my B.A. in Psychology and a Psy.D. in School/Community Psychology both from Hofstra University. In between time, I've earned my M.S. in School Psychology from St. John’s University.Having graduated from programs that emphasize the benefits of learning cognitive behavioral skills, I've decided to create a way to deliver said skills to children. Given the complexity of the task, I've collaborated with Paula Busto. Paula Busto earned a M.S. in education and also completed formal study in school counseling at C.W. Post College.With 22 years of public teaching experience on both the elementary and secondary levels combined with my education and work history, we've constructed a program called, “On Second Thought: From Iffy to Witty Thoughts”.
Listed skills include K 12, Elementary Education, Classroom Management, Early Childhood Education, and 14 others.
