Hope in Schools is an NMT trained provider.

The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics was developed by Dr. Bruce Perry's Child Trauma Academy. It is a brain-based approach and organizing framework that helps providers understand when to utilize and apply certain interventions. Hope in Schools is uniquely one of only two NMT trained providers in the city of San Francisco.

Comprehensive Evaluations for Complex Learning, Attention, and Autism Profiles

For students and adults who are bright, capable, and working hard—yet still struggling—answers are not always straightforward.

Attention, learning differences, autism, executive functioning, and emotional factors often overlap in ways that can be difficult to untangle,

particularly when challenges are subtle or masked.

Evaluations at Hope in Schools are designed to provide clear, integrated diagnostic understanding—along with practical, actionable recommendations

for next steps at home, in school, and over time.

This approach is particularly helpful for those who:

have not been fully understood by previous evaluations or school teams
present with overlapping or unclear diagnoses
are bright but struggling in less visible ways, including the twice exceptional
may be masking underlying challenges

The result is not simply a diagnosis, but a clear, practical path forward for

home, school, and work.

My Approach

My work is grounded in providing culturally responsive, attachment-informed diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Evaluations are designed to provide a clear, integrated understanding of the whole person, including neurodevelopmental factors, learning, attention,

and socioemotional functioning.

This includes careful consideration of developmental history and family context to clarify contributing factors and patterns underlying current challenges.

This comprehensive approach supports thorough, nuanced evaluations for learning differences, psychological diagnosis, and treatment planning—resulting in clear diagnostic understanding and practical, actionable recommendations for next steps.

I also incorporate principles from the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) to further inform case conceptualization and guide individualized recommendations.
