Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Toledo, OH

Do you have a child who appears to be bright but who struggles academically? Does your child's behavior or inability to focus adversely affect learning or make life difficult at home? Does your child have a difficult time connecting socially with peers? If your child is experiencing any learning or behavioral problems at school or at home, then educational testing may be the first step in receiving the help he or she needs. I am an Ohio Board of Psychology and ODE licensed school psychologist specializing in the assessment of Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Autism, and ADHD.

My goal as a psychologist is to help individuals find their full potential. I strive to help clients discover their hidden strengths and areas for growth; thereby learning to more effectively face their concerns. I have extensive training and experience in psychological testing. I provide ADHD and Autism testing for adults and children. I can help clarify or differentiate a diagnosis, provide documentation for schools to help with IEP management, or assess for giftedness. My strategy with psychological assessment is to help people understand their underlying condition and provide recommendations to help them thrive.

Thich Nhat Hanh said, "The present moment contains past and future. The secret to transformation is in the way we handle this very moment." I believe the best, most immediate, steps on the path to health and wellness for the mind, body, and spirit begin with the present journey inward. By better understanding and honoring ourselves, we can live more genuine, self-actualized lives. In finding compassion for ourselves, we can manifest greater compassion for others through the choices we make and how we communicate. Our greatest ally in having a rich and fulfilling life is found within. This is the essence of my clinical work with you.

When it is appropriate to do so, I prefer to work in a family systems context, giving the greatest potential for success.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

Sometimes the demands of childhood and teen years are more than kids (and parents!) can handle. Problems in childhood not only affect children and teens, but their families too. I consider myself a partner in the change process as I help individuals or families work through whatever is troubling them. I have specific training in working with children, teens and families. I work with clients by first understanding their needs and pull from a variety of interventions and methods in order to best serve my clients. I work collaboratively with clients and aim to go at a pace which is comfortable, yet conducive to progress.

If these things don't ring true for you, let me help you be the best version of yourself: focused, connected, thoughtful, and thriving.

I specialize in working with children ages 5-16 years old, and I offer evening appointments. Whether your child is "acting out" at school or home, experiencing anxiety symptoms or panic attacks, exploring their identity or sexuality, or going through significant life changes, I would love to help them work through it! As adults, life has a way of presenting us with challenges that would seem nearly impossible to overcome. These factors impact our thoughts, feelings and often change our daily routines and behavior outside of our norm, making it difficult to find our internal peace. I have found these same adversities in kids.
