I assess and support secondary students as an independent school psychologist managing complex caseloads.
What I'm looking for
I'm an NCSP school psychologist working with Amergis Healthcare in Tacoma, where I manage assessments, caseloads, and clerical responsibilities independently for secondary students.
I've maintained caseloads of 40 to 70 students across two buildings, consistently meeting every deadline while collaborating closely with both school teams.
During my internship with OESD 114, I carried an initial caseload of 43 students and developed my practice through report review and consultation on unfamiliar cases and testing.
My earlier work in Central Kitsap School District and Bremerton School District gave me hands-on experience with assessments, interviews, data gathering, SPED and Equity teams, de-escalation, group work, and student counseling.
