Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Fresno, CA
I am passionate in helping students or potential students who struggle with a suspected learning disability or social skills delay.
I work with learners of any age, either in school or wanting to enter school, who would like to grow emotionally or socially. Children who are not responding to other forms of therapy or intervention will benefit from play-based counseling. Individuals on the autism spectrum, or suspected to be on the spectrum, or kids with emotional regulation or executive functioning (impulsivity, attention, or time management) deficits can find help with Mindful LEP. I provide affirming care to LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse individuals to help them find acceptance and celebration of what makes them amazing. Services must be educationally related.

I aim to empower clients to overcome barriers and challenges related to mental health and guide them in learning more about themselves, so they can take better care of themselves.
My initial goal is to help clients feel a level of comfort and safety so they trust themselves and me to discuss and process what is needed to achieve their goals. I support clients in increasing their self-awareness, taking accountability and agency over certain aspects of their life, accepting what is unchangeable or out of their control, and walking with them as they figure out their next best steps; finding tangible solutions that propel them on their journey of feeling whole and healed. I want my clients to feel at peace and in alignment within themselves and throughout their whole life.

We often find ourselves members of "clubs" we never signed up for. Unexpected "club" memberships might include living with anxiety, complex ptsd/ptsd, divorce, single parenting, the challenges of fostering or adopting, loss of a loved one, on and on. Isolation and shame are common while navigating these "club memberships." My clients are tired of being tired, ready to move from paralysis to growth, and desperate for hope and healing. They want to believe they are worthy of love, hold intrinsic value, and have something positive to bring to the world. They want positive life change and healthy relationships with self and others.

How long has it been since you felt at peace in your life....in your family...in your relationships...in yourself? We chose an olive leaf as our logo because and olive leaf symbolizes peace, and we believe that peace comes by nurturing healthy relationship connections. Maybe you have a difficult child, teen, spouse or extended family member.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
