Does your child's school team feel more like adversaries than teammates? Perhaps you aren’t being treated as an equal in the process? Is there a clear difference between what the school recommends and what you know your child needs? An educational advocate can provide the fresh perspective and expertise needed to finally come to a resolution. Why I started NorthStar: Witnessing long waitlists and resource shortages firsthand, I felt compelled to make a difference. That's why I launched this educational advocacy business, offering private psychoeducational evaluations and expert guidance through the special education process.
With nearly 15 years of experience as a school psychologist, I bring a unique perspective to educational advocacy. My diverse background from top-performing districts to under-resourced communities has given me invaluable insights into the challenges families face across the educational spectrum and the skills to navigate complex school systems effectively.
When you work with me, you're not just getting an advocate; you're gaining a partner who understands the intricacies of the school system from the inside out. My holistic approach ensures that your child's needs are comprehensively assessed and effectively communicated, bridging the gap between home and school. You don't have to do this alone anymore!
