Meet crystal
Hi, I’m Crystal, and I love helping families find the resources they need to help their children thrive.
My goal is to take my 10+ years experience and current research to create a plan for your family.
I have been a School Psychologist in the public schools for over 10 years. I am also a Licensed Educational Psychologist in California (License #4326).
I graduated from California State University, Sacramento summa cum laude with my Education Specialist Degree (ED.s).
My professional interests include: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Inclusion, Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, assessments, working with parents and caregivers, and mental health in children.
Outside of work, I love running, riding horses, spending time with my family and friends, gardening, and tending to our small farm in Northern California.
I’m excited you are here! I look forward to connecting with you.
