ABOUT DR. WRIGHT

Licensed Psychologist (Arizona)
Nationally Certified School Psychologist
Certified School Psychologist (Arizona)

I earned my Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Arizona, where I received extensive training in evaluating and treating learning, behavioral, and mental health concerns in children and teens. My background includes working as a School Psychologist in both public and charter schools, which has given me a strong understanding of how developmental needs, medical conditions, social–emotional challenges, and behavioral difficulties can affect a child’s learning and daily functioning. Since opening my private practice in 2019, I’ve continued to focus on helping families better understand their child’s strengths and needs.

I view psychological assessment as a team effort. My goal is to help families gain clarity, feel supported, and walk away with recommendations that truly fit their child. In therapy, I draw on cognitive-behavioral strategies and other evidence-based approaches to provide practical, effective support tailored to each client’s unique experiences.

As a mom of young children myself, I understand how deeply parents want their kids to thrive. I look forward to partnering with you and your child to build on strengths, address challenges, and work together toward positive, meaningful change.
