About Me
I earned a Master of Science in Education with an Advanced Certificate in School Psychology, and a Doctorate in Interdisciplinary Educational Studies. I also have certifications as a parent instructor, parent coach, stress management coach, positive psychology coach, teen life coach, and ADHD-Clinical Services Provider.
As a school psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with both typically developing students and those with special needs, I bring a unique foundation to my coaching work. My extensive background in assessment, intervention, counseling, and consultation directly enhances everything I do. Through assessment, I quickly identify patterns and underlying causes beneath surface behaviors and struggles. My intervention knowledge means I provide evidence-based, targeted strategies tailored to your specific situation, not generic advice. Counseling skills allow me to hold space for the stress, overwhelm, and emotions that come with this stage, whether you’re a parent navigating your child’s challenges or a teen/young adult working through your own. And my consultation approach ensures we work collaboratively, empowering you to solve problems independently while navigating schools, therapists, and other systems effectively. Together, these skills help me see the whole picture, ask the right questions, and guide you toward meaningful change.
As a mother, I bring a deep, personal understanding of both the joys and challenges that come with raising children. Coupled with my professional background in school psychology and education, I offer thoughtful, compassionate, and practical support to parents and young people navigating their unique journeys. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where families can explore their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build deeper connections. My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based strategies, and a genuine commitment to helping each individual thrive whether they're facing transitions, communication struggles, or simply seeking clarity and confidence in their path forward.
