Mental Espresso

I’ve been working as a School Psychologist since 2023, and this is my third year in the field. In my role, I provide direct mental health services, complete psychoeducational evaluations, and collaborate with teachers and families to support student success. I also have a background in crisis work, which has strengthened my ability to create calm, supportive, and trauma-informed resources. Outside of my work in schools, I run an Etsy store and do graphic design. That creative experience helps me design resources that are not only research-based and practical, but also visually engaging and fun for students and teachers to use.

My teaching style is strengths-based, supportive, and student-centered. I focus on helping kids build skills they can use in real-life situations, whether that’s practicing self-regulation, problem-solving, or navigating friendships. I believe students learn best when they feel safe, valued, and empowered, so I design resources that encourage reflection, independence, and confidence. I also bring in elements of creativity and flexibility, knowing that no two classrooms (or students) are exactly alike. My goal is to provide tools that work across different learning styles and can be easily adapted to fit the unique needs of your students.

I earned my Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology from the University of Denver. My training focused on supporting the whole child through assessment, intervention, and collaboration with educators and families. During my graduate program, I gained hands-on experience in schools across the Denver area, working with diverse student populations and developing a deep commitment to equity and inclusion in education.

When I’m not working in schools or creating resources, you can usually find me figure skating, exploring coffee shops, or thrifting for unique finds. I also love traveling with my partner and discovering new perspectives and places. Creativity is a big part of my life, and I run an Etsy store where I design custom gifts, stickers, and candles. Those creative outlets inspire the playful and engaging style I bring into my educational resources. I am passionate about equity, inclusion, and mental health, and I strive to make resources that reflect those values while being practical and classroom-friendly.
