Therapist Overview
As a licensed educational psychologist (LEP), I work exclusively with children. I offer both counseling and psychoeducational assessment. My particular expertise is with unique learning profiles such as learning disabilities, autism spectrum, anxiety, and hyperactivity/impulsivity. My 9+ years of experience include working in school psychology for the Santa Barbara County Education Office (including Montecito, Cold Spring, Guadalupe School Districts, and conducting assessments for preschools and private schools in Santa Barbara), and I have worked in private practice as an LEP since 2016. Please note that I do not accept insurance. My counseling practice draws upon cognitive-behavioral / play therapy strategies to create a supportive environment where your child feels valued, heard, and empowered to problem-solve and make positive changes. I value hands-on activities and regular communication with parents. I can do exposure response prevention to help with obsessions and compulsions. M
