COASTAL EVALUATION

GET TO KNOW ME
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychology and in particular school psychology. As a Licensed Psycho-Educational Specialist, Nationally Certified School Psychologist, and licensed School Psychologist in the greater Charleston area, I am committed to using a comprehensive evaluation when evaluating clients. I will go above and beyond to help clients understand their strengths and weaknesses.
I genuinely care for all of my clients and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2001, I have worked in various settings including juvenile correction facilities, online schools, and brick-and-mortar school districts. I have taught a graduate-level assessment class in school psychology and conducted training around the country on new cognitive and achievement assessments. The evaluations I can conduct include Learning Disability (dyslexia, dyscalculia), Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Threat Assessments, and other mental health and learning problems.
