With a strong foundation in health sciences from Quinnipiac University and a minor in psychology, Olivia brings a multidisciplinary approach to supporting individuals and families across various settings.

Olivia specializes in working with neurodivergent children and adolescents, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and learning disabilities. Through her internships in elementary and middle schools, she has provided targeted individual and group counseling, behavioral interventions, and classroom-based support. She collaborates closely with educators, families, and multidisciplinary teams to create inclusive, student-centered plans that promote both academic and emotional success.
