I received most of my education in the South Bay Area of California.  Attending Santa Clara University to achieve my master's in education, San Jose State University, to complete requirements for a speech and language/communications master's degree, and a degree in clinical counseling psychology, and National University for the BCBA coursework, a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis, and a master's degree in applied behavior analysis. This makes up the majority of my college-level education.  

I maintain my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) and California License as a Speech-Language Pathologist.  I have been practicing my profession since 2000.  My office is located in Los Gatos, California, where most afternoons and evenings, I am in the office seeing private patients for individual therapy and therapy in pairs and small groups.  In the mornings and early afternoons, I work with local school districts, advocates, attorneys, and parents, supporting the development and implementation of behavioral, communication, executive functioning, and academic programs that combine skills, strategies, and behaviors to help students succeed.  

Staying current and informed within my profession is a priority to me, as is networking to build a solid referral base.  Learning and teaching are my passions, to which golf, cooking, and art are often superseded.  I am eternally grateful to have been given the opportunities to work with neurotypically developing students and adults, neurodiverse students and adults, and other family members in need.
