Hello!

The woman is kneeling on one knee, smiling, and holding the boy who is sitting on her knee, also smiling. The boy is wearing a striped polo shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

The Educational Psychologist behind DEEC.

I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist with over a decade of experience working in public school districts. I understand the educational systems, services, and supports that shape a learner's experience. This perspective allows me to provide thoughtful and practical recommendations that help individuals, families, and schools work together to support success.

I believe that a deeper understanding of how a person learns can create meaningful growth and self-discovery that might otherwise appear out of reach. My work is grounded in the belief that people are far more complex than a diagnosis, test score, or label. And meaningful support begins with understanding the whole person.

My home base is in the Conejo Valley but I provide evaluation, consultation, and counseling services to individuals, families, schools, attorneys, and other professionals throughout Ventura County and portions of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties.

My goal is not simply to identify challenges, but to help people gain a deeper understanding of themselves, recognize their capabilities, and move forward with greater confidence. My professional goal is to create a supportive and collaborative experience that is thoughtful, individualized, and empowering.
