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.
