I specialize in comprehensive, strength-based neurocognitive, educational, and psychological testing and evaluation. My work is designed to inform diagnosis, treatment, and planning for academic and vocational success. I focus on understanding each individual’s unique strengths and challenges, with specialty areas including ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities (for Adult DDS), Vocational/Career/College Planning, as well as Anxiety and Depression. As a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA), I bring national expertise in testing accommodations, research, and available assistive technologies.
I ensure adherence to current best practices, accuracy, and relevance through my role in APA's Presidential Task Force on Neuropsychological Test Norming in Diverse Populations and the Committee on Psychological Tests and Assessments. I am also a member of the Joint Committee revising the Standards for Testing for Educational and Psychological Testing.
I am committed to helping all people maximize their abilities to live their best lives. I test one individual at a time and fully prioritize each person. I generally can schedule testing within 6 weeks and complete reports within 2 weeks of the final test session. When my schedule does not permit taking new clients, I can refer you to others at CMHS.
