I begin with a comprehensive intake evaluation to determine the client's unique needs and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Do you feel like you're operating on a different wavelength than everyone else? Are you overwhelmed by constant worry, or stuck in a cycle of intrusive, looping thoughts (OCD)? Perhaps you've long felt that the world wasn't built for you and are wondering if you might be neurodiverse? If so, you're in the right place. I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to providing specialized services for individuals and families, including individual therapy, parent coaching, and psychological assessments (monthly in-person assessment clinics in the Atlanta area for ages 6+).

Over the several decades I have been in practice, I have enjoyed a large number of approaches to the different and complex problems that face people. Helping clients find and energize their own internal resources is not only inspiring, it is also exciting. Although many of my friends and colleagues have retired, I have not because there is nothing that I would rather do.

My area of interest and expertise lies in the sphere of relationships; in particular, the relationship one has with one's Self. I believe that this relationship, formed early in life, impacts one's ability to be fully present and engaged in relationships with spouses, partners, children, friends and colleagues. In a non-judgmental and compassionate environment, I strive to provide an atmosphere in which you can safely explore and work through feelings, thoughts, images and beliefs, conscious or unconscious, that may be keeping you stuck in repetitive patterns.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.

Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.

How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.

How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
