I offer comprehensive psychoeducational testing and do not have a wait list! What is that? It is a comprehensive, individualized way of answering questions about functioning. To break it down further, it looks like several hours of focused work on one individual, learning about their world view, brain style, and strengths. I get to provide assessments, but find joy in getting to know individuals and becoming an ally who affirms and empowers them. This is especially true for neurodivergent folks. If you suspect you have ADHD, autism, or a learning disability, for exampIe, I will not rest until I have answers and solutions for you!
I am an experienced school psychologist who specializes in working with people ages three and up. I have worked with many neurodivergent folks over the years and focus on identifying and building individual strengths. Unfortunately, people often seek out an evaluation due to "problems," but my focus is on reframing perspectives to empower people.
It would be a pleasure to get to know you! Thank you for considering contacting me for a free consultation to determine whether I can meet your needs. If nothing else, I am always happy to try to connect potential clients with someone who can help! If you are feeling overwhelmed with all the information and providers online, let's navigate together!

While families may be referred to me or seek me out for problem-solving, my goal is to find and build strengths while pinpointing areas of need. Comprehensive evaluations allow for information to help drive next steps related to treatment, strength-building, and educational planning. If a family is struggling to navigate the school system, I offer advocacy services as well.
