Experience

I have worked with children and adolescents with special needs for more than 10 years. I have a master's level degree in psychology from Austria, where I provided private psychological assessments and bullying prevention workshops in public schools before moving to the United States in 2009. I completed a specialist program in school psychology at Texas State University-San Marcos, where I had to opportunity to complete a practicum in the university's autism clinic. After relocating to California in 2014, I worked at Navigator Schools and at Monterey County Office of Education and obtained my board certified behavior analyst certification. I co-founded Psyched Services, a non-public agency providing psychological and behavioral services to schools and families. Currently I'm in private practice in Santa Cruz, where I provide services to schools and families in the community and in the surrounding areas.
