The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Pittsburgh, PA 15241
I work with adults struggling with anxiety/fear, PTSD/trauma, depression, stressful life transitions, grief, and chronic health issues (I have expertise in cancer). Suffering is a universal part of being human, but sometimes we get stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that make it difficult to move forward. I help clients develop new ways of responding to difficult thoughts, feelings, and memories while making meaningful behavior changes guided by their values. Together, we work to break unhelpful patterns, build effective coping skills, and create a life with greater purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

You’ve spent a long time wondering if you were just missing something. Maybe you’ve worked hard to keep up — at school, at work, in relationships — but things still feel harder than they should. You’ve been told to stay calm, get organized, try harder. But deep down, you’re asking: is it ADHD? Autism? Trauma? Or something else entirely? You’re not broken or making excuses — and you deserve answers. My work is about helping people finally understand what’s really going on, with clarity and care.

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.
