About My Clients
Is your child struggling in school? Do you wonder if your child has a learning disability, ADHD, or autism? I specialize in finding out why students are struggling in school and what can be done to help.
My Background and Approach
I am passionate about working with students, their schools, and their families to help students be as successful as they can be on their learning pathway. I have been working with children for over 15 years and working as a school psychologist in public school districts for ten years. I bring those skills to my private practice serving families directly. I specialize in learning disabilities (including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia), Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other Emotional Disabilities including depression and anxiety. I also understand the parent perspective of raising children and navigating the educational system. I have two children of my own and one of them is on an IEP (individualized education plan). Going through that experience as a parent has given me a new perspective on the process and has allowed me to gain compassion and empathy for parents going through this process with their children.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach is centered on providing neurodiversity-affirming, compassionate, and comprehensive assessments tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in celebrating and supporting the diverse ways in which people think and learn. My evaluations are thorough and collaborative, involving a variety of tools, strategies, and conversations to gain a holistic understanding of each student. By focusing on strengths as well as areas of need, I aim to empower students and their families with actionable insights and practical recommendations. My goal is to create a supportive and respectful environment where every student can thrive and achieve their full potential.
