About Me

I have been working as a School Psychologist for 16 years. I specialize in dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, and autism. I am continuously expanding my knowledge and expertise in all areas related to children's learning and mental health. I pride myself on being able to build rapport with children and parents in order to obtain the most valid assessment results and establish relationships in a counseling setting. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UC Riverside and my Master's of Education and Pupil Personnel Services-School Psychology credential from Alliant International University. I have worked with preschool through adult and diverse populations. I currently have 2 children at home and work in a public elementary school.
