Assessments are tailored to the individual situation, but typically include a detailed interview; evaluation of relevant cognitive skills; exploration of mood, stress, and broader psychological functioning; and helpful and realistic recommendations.
I'm a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist who helps people impacted by ADHD, strokes, head injuries, procrastination, and executive impairments. I offer individual psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment to late teens and adults impacted by these issues, as well as LD and other neurologic problems. In therapy, I use cognitive behavioral, assertiveness, and motivational interviewing methods to help you build skills to more effectively manage your symptoms at work and at home. I'm licensed in IL, NY, and also offer telehealth sessions to clients in Psy-Pact participating states (Google: Psypact Map for full details).

I believe psychotherapy works when the relationship is genuine and real. What makes it feel safe isn’t that the therapist holds back or doesn't experience judgment, it’s that the relationship itself is prioritized; it is rooted in connection, authenticity, humility, and compassion. I also think that dynamic shouldn't be unique to therapy; it's not some sacred space. That’s what healthy relationships should look like, period. I take a relational, insight-oriented, and engaged approach. You won’t get a blank slate—you’ll get someone who’s willing to sit with you, challenge you compassionately, and promote your health and well-being.

Virtual sessions: initial evaluation and therapy, available in English & Spanish.
We all have rainy days. Likewise, we all have sunny days, cloudy days, and all other variations that enable us to live a fulfilled life. Yet for some of us, sometimes the 'not great' days last weeks, at times months, and even years. This makes life just that much harder to live. It makes relationships hard to make and keep, makes it difficult to succeed in school or work and impairs our ability to complete even the simplest of tasks. We can work together in order to embrace these experiences, cope with hardship in a healthy manner, move forward and live each day to the fullest.

I have a few daytime therapy appointments available and have a short waitlist for diagnostic testing as of March 2026.
Are you feeling lost in who you are or who you're becoming? Are you finding yourself entering a transition in your career, education, or relationships? It can be hard to identify, ask for, or obtain the types of emotional support that would help you feel more understood and grounded in your life. Perhaps you're looking to build skills to cope with the demands of your daily life and navigating relationships. You may also be navigating an environment that isn't affirming or even safe for your identities.

We specialize in testing ADHD for adults and providing targeted, effective psychotherapy.
Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, relationships, and other areas of your life? Do you become distracted often and have difficulties being productive? Is it hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and overactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD that affect about 5% of people. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates significant difficulties and presents barriers to success. It can spill over into different areas affecting your mental health and well being.

I try to get neuropsych testing sessions scheduled within a couple of weeks.
During these trying times, I understand how anxiety, depression, relationship woes, physical and mental health challenges, and family strife can increase as if it's under a microscope! Individuals want and need internal working systems that help them do more than cope and survive, they need the strength and awareness to grow from trials and tribulations both within and outside of one's control.

For testing, we will complete the initial interview appointment and provide you with conclusive results following the testing process.
Do you feel misunderstood, even when you try your best to fit in? I offer neuropsychological evaluations to help you better understand neurodivergent traits (e.g., ADHD, autism, or masking) that may be contributing to lifelong challenges with connection, communication, or feeling “different.” Gaining clarity creates space for self-acceptance and more authentic relationships. I focus on understanding your unique story, not just test scores, to provide accurate answers and meaningful, personalized recommendations. Together, we’ll turn insight into a plan that supports growth, confidence, and well-being.

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.
