Virginia

I live in northern Virginia with my husband, our lovely two year-old daughter, and our dog and cat. I earned my Ph.D. in applied developmental psychology from the University of Miami in 1998 with a specialty in early intervention with children at risk for developmental disabilities. Currently, I am an assistant professor in the psychology department at the University of Mary Washington where I teach courses in child development, statistics, and research methods. I became a PCI Certified Parent Coach® in October of 2005. I maintain a private parent coaching practice, where I use the PCI model to support parents in addressing the challenges they face in a manner consistent with their values and beliefs.
