Wondering if it's ADHD, autism, anxiety, a learning difference, or just a phase?
I help parents get clear, reliable answers about what's really going on with their child, and a practical plan to help them move forward with confidence. Through comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations and ongoing behavioral support, I give you a roadmap so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start helping your child thrive at home and school.
Every evaluation I do is built around comprehensive, research-backed testing to look at the whole picture: attention, learning, emotions, behavior, social development, and executive functioning.
Testing is just the start. I don't hand you a report; I work directly with you and your child's school to reduce the daily friction, whether that's meltdowns, homework battles, or social struggles. For families who want continued support, I also offer ongoing treatment virtually or in person in either English or Spanish
As both a psychologist and former educator, I've sat on both sides of the table, as the person delivering results, and as someone who's watched a parent's shoulders drop with relief just from finally having an answer. I genuinely love this work, and I'm deeply committed to supporting your child. Outside the office, I'm just a happy mom :)
