About Yvonne

Experienced. Compassionate. Student-Centered.

I’m Yvonne, a Licensed Educational Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience supporting students, families, and educators.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students with diverse learning needs, helping families better understand their children’s strengths, challenges, and educational options.

I founded SpEd Talk with Yvonne to provide individualized psychoeducational evaluations, consultation, and practical guidance in a supportive, approachable environment. My goal is to help families feel informed, confident, and empowered as they make decisions about their child’s educational journey.

Individualized Understanding

Every student has a unique combination of strengths, challenges, and learning needs. My approach begins with understanding the whole child, looking beyond test scores to gain meaningful insight into how each student learns and what they need to succeed.

Collaborative Partnership

I believe families are essential partners in supporting student success. Through open communication, thoughtful consultation, and collaboration with educators and other professionals, I help families better understand their options and make informed educational decisions.

Practical, Meaningful Guidance

My goal is to translate complex educational information into clear, practical recommendations. Whether through evaluations, consultation, or educational planning, I focus on providing guidance that families and educators can confidently apply in everyday settings.
