I'm a Licensed Educational Psychologist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, School Psychologist, School Counselor, and former SELPA Program Specialist who has lived, breathed, and loved special education and educational psychology for over 20 years. Just as importantly, I'm a parent who has raised two neurodivergent children (one with Stargardt disease and Level 2 autism)—and I can assure you that a seat at that side of the table is a completely different vista.
My primary clinical practice, SoCal IEE™, is a highly specialized firm in the San Gabriel Valley focused on complex IEEs, and outside of that work, I serve as an Expert Witness and Subject Matter Expert for the Board of Behavioral Sciences. My passion project, Peaceful IEP Navigator™ (PIN™), was built as a marriage between my experience as a parent, a high-level clinician, and a SELPA administrator to make the IEP process transparent, objective, and non-adversarial by educating all parties—and ensuring our school psychs and LEPs have top-tier skills is a huge piece of that mission.
