Pam has been helping and supporting families for over 18 years. Since earning her Master's Degree from California State University Northridge in special education, Pam has worked in a variety of settings, including schools, her home, within clinics and in the community.

Her experience has led her to a unique approach that combines DIRFloortime, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and Pivotal Response techniques. Pam works with each family to create a plan that can be implemented at home and school.

Through her work, Pam helps children to generalize skills and change behaviors in a more efficient generalized manner. There is no "one size fits all" behavior plan, and Pam emphasizes the critical role of each family member during vital growth and development.

Pam's discipline is highlighted by her training and collaboration with exceptional professionals from the Lovaas Institute, UCLA's PEERS for preschool program, and Pivotal Response Training from the Gervitz School at UCSB. Pam strives to keep herself well rounded and educated by regularly attending local and international conferences.

The team approach has brought Pam together with Cynthia Lundy and Jenny Johnson to create Blossom Collaborative, combines their complementary skills and experience.

After work hours and on weekends, the outdoors are Pam's calling. An accomplished mountaineer and rock climber, you will often find Pam ascending the peaks around Bend, or seeking out adventure in pristine environments around the world. At home, Pam enjoys a ranching lifestyle where shes is dedicated to her dogs, goats, cows, chickens, and horses.
