Director of Assessment, Licensed Educational Psychologist
"As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I have over 8 years of experience conducting and interpreting psychological evaluations for children, adolescents and young adults in Massachusetts public and private school settings. Alongside administering professional cognitive, academic, and social-emotional assessments, I make sure to interview the people who know the client best, including their teachers, special educators, counselors, healthcare providers, parents, and the children themselves.
Respecting and integrating these viewpoints allows me to create a well-rounded and useful understanding of the client’s experience of life, their unique strengths and challenges, and the most supportive environments for their growth. I believe that beyond merely suggesting a label, the evaluation process is about getting to know the person in front of me. The developmental profile I construct and the recommendations I provide will reflect my client’s humanity.
The findings from my evaluations have led to educational diagnoses of health impairments like ADHD, emotional impairments such as anxiety and depression, specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, intellectual impairment, and communication impairment. I look forward to helping you or your child take the next step toward progress and support."
Licensed Educational Psychologist
“I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) and Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) with experience working with individuals from diverse populations in a variety of settings, including public schools, residential programs, community-based programs, and hospitals. I specialize in working with children and adolescents ages 3-22 years, though I also have experience working with adults facing chronic mental health conditions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with minors in Neuroscience and Spanish Studies from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, followed by a Master’s and Educational Specialist Degree in School Psychology from Tufts University.
My work is grounded in building collaborative, trusting relationships with the individuals and families I support, employing a humanistic and multicultural perspective. I focus on a comprehensive, holistic, and client-centered approach that aims to understand or consider the full context of a person’s strengths, skills, and areas for growth. I strive to create an environment where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered. My hope is not only to address mental health concerns but also to foster the development of essential skills, including executive functioning, social-emotional regulation, and self-advocacy.
Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in my community, trying new food, cooking, indulging in sweets, playing videogames, playing ice hockey, and exploring with my dog.”
“We partnered with Hope Ave to conduct a neuropsychological evaluation for one of our students — and they made the process seamless from start to finish. Their team accommodated our timeline, stayed genuinely collaborative, and thoughtfully incorporated feedback from everyone involved. The final report was thorough, clear, and immediately actionable, and Teresa met with both our team and the family to walk through the findings together — ensuring everyone left ready to move forward with confidence. For any family navigating this process, Hope Ave is exactly the kind of partner you want in your corner.”
