Meet the Team / Annalise Puentes

Annalise Puentes

Annalise is a Licensed Educational Psychologist with a passion for empowering students, educators and families. As a practicing Educational Psychologist in Sonoma County, her focus has been in psychoeducational assessments, behavior support, and staff training. She has worked with a wide range of students from preschool through age 22 in the public, non-public, and private school settings. 

Annalise was drawn to school psychology because she loves working with children and knows first-hand how transformative education can be. One of her favorite aspects of the field has been working with families and educators to give students agency in their educational and personal development. Annalise has a collaborative approach in all that she does.  She recognizes the value of a parents’ expertise in their child and aims to use that in combination with her own expertise to come together for the best possible outcomes. 

When she is not working, you will find her volunteering at her  own children’s school, traveling with her husband, laughing with friends, and listening to good music!
