Perfectionism, procrastination, social withdrawal, and oppositional behaviors can be a common part of child development in today's culture of hyper-achievement combined with technology. Child and adolescent behaviors viewed as problematic are frequently communications to those closest to them about a difficulty they are experiencing in their world. I work with children and with families who are struggling to understand their child's academic, behavioral, and emotional struggles.
I provide psychological testing and psychotherapy for children and adolescents. I specialize in developmental psychology with a focus on the genetic, environmental, behavioral, and socio-cultural influences that determine how a child matures. I have a specialty interest and comprehensive clinical experience with diagnostic testing for ADHD and autism.
At the time when a family reaches out for psychological assessment or psychotherapy for their child, the situation has become difficult for those in the child's environment but probably the most so for the child. Psychological testing can provide answers to the complex factors that are contributing to the child's challenges.
