About Us

-
With more than 20 years of experience and passion for making a difference, I have worked with individuals from preschool through college in both public school and private practice settings. I specialize in comprehensive psychological assessment and evidence-based services that address cognitive processing, learning, attention, executive functioning, social-emotional development, and behavior. My background includes working with individuals from diverse economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, as well as youth who identify as LGBTQ+.
My previous private practice experience included psychological testing and solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy to children and teens throughout the central Ohio area. My primary public school experiences have included working for one of Ohio’s highest-achieving school districts, working at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
I graduated with a Master’s degree and Education Specialist degree (Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study) from a top-ranked school psychology program, Duquesne University, in Pittsburgh, PA.
I hold an independent school psychologist license through the Ohio Board of Psychology (license #SP570) and the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) credential.
Outside of the office, I love to travel and explore new cultural experiences. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking, reading, taking yoga and barre classes, and trying to keep up with my tween daughter!

I’m a dedicated School Psychologist passionate about empowering students across all developmental stages to reach their potential.
I earned my PhD in Educational Studies, School Psychology from The Ohio State University, where I focused my dissertation on Social Emotional Learning Curriculums to Support Inclusive Education and Low-Income Students. My journey has taken me through both urban and suburban districts, working with preschoolers to high schoolers, and I find deep purpose in supporting students’ academic, social-emotional, and behavioral growth.
With specialized training in behavior analysis, structured literacy interventions, and dyslexia support, I believe that a comprehensive and collaborative evaluation process is key to helping students thrive.
Beyond direct service and evaluation, I have contributed to research on competency standards in cognitive assessment and have presented at professional forums to help shape the next generation of school psychologists.
I am always eager to connect and collaborate with professionals who are committed to fostering inclusive environments and supporting their students’ growth, while also partnering with families to promote their child’s well-being and development.
When I’m not supporting students and families, you’ll likely find me spending time with my own family and exploring new places, from weekend road trips to cross-country flights and overseas adventures. I love hiking in our beautiful national parks and can't resist a quiet spot with a mountain view, a warm cup of coffee, and a good book.
I believe in seeking out joy and connection in everyday moments, whether I am on a mountain trail, working on a puzzle or building Legos with my kids, or discovering a new local coffee shop. I also love experiencing Disney adventures with my kids and seeing the magic through their eyes. If you have a favorite book, a cozy coffee spot, or a national park trail you love, I would love to hear about it!
