I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological and diagnostic evaluations for children and adolescents (ages 6-18). My evaluations help to identify learning differences, ADHD, emotional concerns, and other factors that may impact a child’s academic and social-emotional functioning. In addition to psychological testing, I have extensive experience conducting evaluations for youth who have experienced child maltreatment, as well as forensic psychological assessments for juveniles involved in the legal system. These evaluations help to inform legal decisions regarding trauma, psychological functioning, and treatment needs.
I provide therapy for youth struggling with behavioral challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and anxiety. My approach is evidenced-based and tailored to the unique needs of each child. I strive to create a supportive environment where youth and their families feel empowered to navigate challenges and build resistance.
Making the decision to have your child evaluated or bring your child to therapy is not always easy. I am here to provide support and to discuss treatment options. Please feel free to contact the Caring Cove for a free consultation to discuss how we can work together to support your child’s growth and success.
