For those currently feeling challenged by school, work, relationships, anxiety, executive functioning, or mood regulation, an accurate assessment can provide appropriate diagnoses, treatment plans, and a deeper self-understanding. Life's challenges are complex and knowing how to navigate them can be overwhelming. I conduct comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to empower individuals and families. In addition to evaluations, I provide individual therapy to address difficulties in areas including (but not limited to) anxiety, relationships, social skills, and executive functioning.
I work with children, teenagers, and adults to assess for Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, social/emotional difficulties, and more. I pair gold-standard assessment practices with empathy and understanding of every individual's unique qualities and experiences. I will collaborate with schools and other providers to ensure consistent care.
We will work together to highlight your strengths and explore ways to support your areas of need. An evaluation can offer a sense of relief by providing answers and specific treatment and/or school-based recommendations. Using a systemic and individually tailored approach, an evaluation is used for identifying strengths, learning styles, and limitations.
