I believe every child has hidden potential.
You have come here because you have questions about your child. As a psychologist and educator, I aim to help you understand the solutions to your questions. I will guide you through my evaluation process and ensure you have actionable steps to impact your child’s future positively.
As a Licensed Psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist based in Southern California, I specialize in providing psychological and educational evaluations tailored for children and adolescents.
My rigorous training sets me apart in this field. Your child's success is my priority, and I am here to help you guide them toward a brighter future.

My PhD is in school psychology from the University of Missouri, Columbia, with an emphasis on quantitative research methods. While at the University of Missouri, I completed training experiences in pediatric neuropsychology and outpatient mental health counseling.
