Hi, I’m Cindy! I recently moved from California to Berlin with my three school-aged children (ages 11, 11, and 13). Prior to moving, I was a school psychologist in a large and diverse school district in Northern California for the last 17 years.

I have a life-long passion for helping children grow and develop into their best selves. Prior to becoming a school psychologist, I worked as an elementary school counselor for 6 years, and also as a social worker with pregnant and parenting teens. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Masters of Social Work degree from California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). Ten years later I returned to CSUS to complete the Master of Counseling program, in order to become a School Psychologist. I hold two credentials in California to provide social work and school psychologist services in public schools, and I am a Nationally Certified School Psychologist in the U.S.A.

During the last 17 years, I have provided psychoeducational assessments to 1000+ students! In doing so, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in identifying the causes of student difficulties, and in developing effective interventions to support them at home and school. I specialize in working with students who may be impacted by: learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and emotional issues. I also have a lot of experience (personal and professional), working with children who have difficulty processing sensory information the same way as most people.

I am from the US and I speak fluent English, and A2 level German and Spanish. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children, reading, traveling and gaining new experiences.
