Are you having difficulty in your day-to-day life and it's keeping you from achieving your goals? Are you ready to begin making changes to improve your quality of life? It takes courage to want to make a change.

I provide neuropsychological testing to children, adolescents and young adults to give an overview of cognitive abilities to determine individual strengths and weaknesses. These abilities include: Intellectual Functioning (IQ); Academic Achievement; Learning & Memory; Attention & Executive Functioning; Language & Phonological Processing; Visual-Spatial Skills & Visual-Motor Integration; Fine Motor Coordination; Adaptive Functioning; Emotional & Behavioral Functioning; Social Skills & Pragmatic (Social) Language.

Neuropsychological evaluations can be helpful at any age. If you are struggling with your thinking abilities (attention, memory, or executive functioning), you may benefit from diagnostic clarity (is it ADHD? do I have dementia?). Testing can identify a pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses and help guide in treatment planning.

Let's be real—we're all struggling. Whether you’re masking yourself to appear okay on the outside when you’re actually breaking on the inside, or you’re trapped in thinking that you can’t confide in others because your emotions would be “too much” for them to handle, or you’re pushing down your emotions because you’ve learned that they are bad, selfish, or shameful to feel—you are not alone.
