"My goal is for families to leave an evaluation with a clearer understanding of their child, an appreciation for their strengths, and confidence in how to support them."
Hi! I'm Lauren, a Licensed Educational Psychologist and credentialed school psychologist with experience supporting students and families in public schools in California and Arizona. I take a warm, collaborative approach to understanding how children learn and what helps them feel capable, connected, and successful at school.
Educational Background:
I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and completed my graduate training in School Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. My experience includes comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations, counseling, and collaboration with families, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams to support children's academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development.
Professional Passion:
I especially enjoy helping families understand the connections between learning, attention, and emotional well-being. Through my work in schools, I've seen how learning challenges can affect a child's confidence and experience in the classroom. I look beyond test results to understand each child's strengths, interests, and everyday experiences, and translate that information into clear explanations and practical recommendations.
Beyond the Office:
Having grown up on the Peninsula, I'm excited to serve families in the community I call home. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and spending time with friends, family, and my dog, Kona.
Let's Connect:
Building relationships is central to my work. I want children to feel comfortable being themselves and parents to feel heard throughout the evaluation process. My goal is to help families make sense of their concerns and identify meaningful next steps, both at home and at school.
