I test a range of children and teens with learning, attentional, language, visual spatial and executive functioning (planning, organization, problem solving) issues. I help answer questions regarding neurodevelopment disorders such as AD/HD, learning disabilities, and autism as well as psychological issues such as anxiety, depression and behavioral issues. I utilize a strength based approach and am passionate about seeing the WHOLE child. I educate, empower and support parents and children in their developmental journey. Assessments can provide diagnostic clarification, school based recommendations, and testing accommodations.
I am a child psychologist with specialized postdoctoral training in Child Neuropsychology from Brown and Harvard University allowing me to focus on understanding the complex interactions between a child's cognitive/academic skills, temperament /personality and emotional/social world. I also offer the popular option of remote testing where I come to you.
Parents describe my approach as warm, positive, and strength based. I provide practical and individualized recommendations for both school and home. May empower children to feel more confident, competent and successful. We are all doing the best we can, I am here to help your child's best become even better.
