About Kathleen

I am a compassionate, resilient, and nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and 3 years supporting neurodivergent students in the Palos Verdes School District. I have a Ph. D. I love working with children because they are authentic, curious, and full of potential. Watching them learn, grow, and gain confidence brings me tremendous joy. I have extensive experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, learning differences, and behavioral challenges. I do not work with neurodivergent children because they need fixing; I work with them because they deserve someone who sees their strengths, believes in their potential, and encourages their unique brilliance. Families should know that I genuinely care about every child I work with. I bring patience, positive guidance, educational support, and consistency to create a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children can thrive.
