I am a Pennsylvania native who slowly made my way to California over the years. I completed my undergraduate studies at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, then moved to San Marcos, Texas, to study at Texas State University, where I earned a master’s degree in school psychology. In 2016, I earned diplomate status from the American Board of School Neuropsychology. In 2026, I earned a PhD in infant and early childhood development at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara. I have experience working as an activities therapist for an adolescent inpatient psychiatric hospital and as an in-home therapeutic support staff for children with autism spectrum disorder. I have also worked in the public schools as a school psychologist for fifteen years–eight years in Texas and seven years in California. My private practice was established in 2014, where I continue to serve families, children, college students, and school districts. Learning never stops in the field of educational psychology. I learn from each individual I serve and routinely attend professional development to stay informed of current research.
