You’re exhausted. It feels like you've tried everything and you're running out of ideas. Maybe your child is struggling at school, melting down over homework, or falling apart after trying to “hold it together” all day. You’ve read the books. Tried therapy. Talked with teachers. And yet… something still doesn’t feel right. You’re worried, tired, and wondering if you’re missing something. You’re not alone. And it’s not your fault. The system wasn’t built for kids — or the moms who love them.
As an Educational Psychologist (LEP4368) and Behavior Analyst, I offer evaluations (ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia, learning differences), counseling, and parent coaching. I use CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness to foster self-knowledge and self-regulation.
I work with clients ages 2 to 25, offering both in-person sessions in Pismo Beach, CA and virtual appointments across California. If your family is feeling stuck, stressed, or just in need of a plan, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and build a path forward—together. Reach out for a free consultation today.
