I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist and have been in practice for over 18 years. I specialize in diagnosis of disorders that impact learning such as Dyslexia ADHD, Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Dysgraphia, and social/emotional difficulties (Anxiety, Self-Esteem). If your or your child is frustrated, has difficulty following directions, or has challenges with peers it may be due to an underlying issue and I will work to shed light on and resolve those issues. Through assessment you or your child can be relieved of frustrations and find success at school or in the workplace.
Having practiced in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego I carry a depth of experience and offer a culturally sensitive and practical approach. I've worked with students from pre-school to adult, from severely disabled to gifted. I also provide counseling for success in academic settings from elementary school to college.
I am dedicated to serving learners of all ages through providing insight to the knowledge and tools within themselves to succeed. All are welcome and deserve understanding of their learning language, strengths, and needs. Approximate Fees - $1000 (Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation and Diagnosis), Counseling and Consultation ($75/session)
