As a Comprehensive School Psychologist, I help students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. I work collaboratively with educators, parents, and other professionals to provide a supportive learning environment that strengthens connections between home, school, and the community for all students. I completed my training at Lewis and Clark University in Portland, OR, and I am Nationally Certified. My training emphasized preparation in mental health and educational interventions, child development, learning, behavior, data-based decision-making, assessment, consultation, collaboration, education law, and multi-tired school-wide systems. I am passionate about ensuring all students have access to education and services that support them in reaching their personal goals into adulthood. I seek to do this by providing services to students and families that reduce disproportionate educational outcomes. I am thrilled to be a James John Lion!
