Education

I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) with a Master of Arts in Educational Psychology and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology from Chapman University. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Development from California State University, Fullerton.

​

Professional Experience

I began my career as a School Psychologist in 2011 and have been a Licensed Educational Psychologist in private practice since 2014. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of students across preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, and young adult settings in both public and private schools.

​

My experience serving culturally and linguistically diverse students, along with my ability to communicate in English, Vietnamese, and conversational Chinese, has allowed me to support families from a wide range of backgrounds. I specialize in evaluating and supporting students with a variety of educational and developmental needs, including:

​

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Specific Learning Disabilities

• Intellectual Disabilities

• Developmental Delays

• Multiple Disabilities

• Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, including Anxiety and Depression

 

As a School Psychologist, I have conducted comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations, Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs), and suicide and threat risk assessments. I also collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop evidence-based academic and behavioral interventions, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and Section 504 Plans that are tailored to each student's unique strengths and needs.

Related Experiences

Before becoming a School Psychologist, I worked as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist, providing intensive intervention services for children with autism. I also served as a cognitive trainer, helping children strengthen attention, memory, processing, and problem-solving skills through individualized instruction.

​

In addition, I volunteered with the Child Life Department at Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach, where I supported children and families in coping with hospitalization, illness, and medical challenges through therapeutic play and family-centered care.

My Philosophy

I believe that every child has unique strengths and the ability to thrive when provided with the right support, opportunities, and encouragement. My passion has always been helping children and families better understand how a child learns so they can make informed decisions about their education.

​

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, my goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and individualized evaluations that identify each child's learning profile. I work collaboratively with families, educators, and other professionals to develop practical recommendations and meaningful intervention plans that empower students to reach their full academic, social, and emotional potential.

​

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and I am committed to helping families navigate that journey with confidence, clarity, and hope.
