I provide comprehensive, strength-based testing to help individuals better understand how they learn, think, and thrive. My evaluations support accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and practical planning for school, career, and life. Areas of specialty include ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities (for Adult DDS), Autism (both ADOS-2 and screening tests), vocational/career/college planning, as well as anxiety and depression. As a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA), I offer national-level expertise in testing accommodations, research, and assistive technologies.
My commitment to accuracy, fairness, and relevance is strengthened through active involvement on the American Psychological Association's Task Force on Neuropsychological Test Norming in Diverse Populations, the APA Committee on Psychological Tests and Assessments, and the Joint Committee revising the Standards 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.
