About Me

I have been retired from professional psychology for three years. I have enjoyed spending time as an information volunteer at the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts, and I help with the care of my young grandson. In my free time I love reading, music, and learning Spanish. All of my life I have enjoyed learning new skills and solving problems. When something has to be done, I want to solve the challenge of finding the easiest and simplest way to achieve that goal. I want to meet people where they are and together discover where they would like to be. I want to agree on the best goals, and the best way to achieve those goals. I enjoy working with children and adults one on one or in small groups. My first step would be to get to know you. What do you enjoy? What excites you? What do you want to achieve? What are you most fearful about. What frustrates you? We will work together to set the best goals, and to decide how to reach them. I am looking forward to getting to know you and to start working together on reaching your goals.

Q&A with Laraine

I believe in clarity. We need to both be aware of the goal, and any problems that make it difficult to reach that goal. How can you help a student become an independent learner? I encourage students to start the task on their own, until a problem is reached. Then I become a coach: look for options, correct misunderstanding, model a correct response, then encourage doing it by himself or herself. Praise success. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
