As a homegrown psychologist, I think it’s important for people in the Southeast San Diego community to understand that my entire body of work and professional ventures are dedicated to US.

My decision to be a psychologist, and specifically an educational psychologist is deeply rooted in my past experiences. I did not live in the burbs and come to Southeast to visit or transplant from another state or city. Southeast SD, specifically Emerald Hills, was and will forever be home for me.

This short clip provides some background and insight on my why - the life event that has guided my path.

Late text from a client …

Client: The school hasn’t confirmed the date and time for the meeting … but I am not meeting with them without you 🥹😔.

Me: Nor do you have to. I got you! 😉

What I do professionally behind the scenes for families is not broadcast. But y’all should already know … I am going to stand on business and make sure these babies and their families get what they need 💯💯.

If you are struggling to mange your child’s education and have not asked for help … REAL HELP … the solo bearing of that struggle quickly becomes a choice.
