I specialize in conducting neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments with children, teens and adults. You may be aware you or those you love are experiencing difficulties in school/work but it can be hard to pinpoint the cause. A comprehensive assessment allows us to identify the cause of specific problems, cognitive strengths and weaknesses and whether you have a learning disorder (discrepancies between your potential and how you're performing) or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). An assessment can also determine if you qualify for academic or testing accommodations (i.e., GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, GRE, SAT).

I have spent years performing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and providing remedial services for learning issues, executive/organizational difficulties, and coaching.
Life's challenges are many and COVID 19 has created a monumental shift in how we live and how we think about what it means to be human. It has put a different perspective on existing challenges while at the same time creating new ones. Facing such challenges in a supportive relationship can make a difference during these times of heightened anxiety. This type of self-examination takes courage and trust, and I feel privileged when asked to accompany someone on their journey. The success of this type of work lies in the relationship itself.

I work with students who may have learning disabilities, attentional challenges, behavioral difficulties, or are experiencing anxiety surrounding their schoolwork.
I conduct neuropsychological evaluations with children, adolescents, and adults. For students, families typically seek out these assessments when something is interfering with their child's progress, whether academic, behavioral, or emotional. For adults, clients may need help determining why they are not performing to their potential, or working as efficiently as they would like.

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?

When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.

When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?

It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.

What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?

Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.

Are there medications for learning disabilities?

Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
