About Us

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychological testing with children and adolescents. I have been practicing in this area for over a decade and have trained with experts in child assessment. My evaluations assess the presence of attention challenges, learning struggles, and emotional difficulties. I conduct thorough, comprehensive assessments informed by the Therapeutic/Collaborative Assessment model. In this model, parents and children are team members in the process and we work together to answer the referral questions. At the completion of the process, adolescents receive a feedback letter explaining the testing findings in accessible language and children receive an individualized picture book. , " My area of speciality is assessment of children and adolescents. My evaluations typically examine the childs cognitive, academic, neuropsychological, and emotional functioning. At the conclusion of the testing, these four areas are integrated into a thorough understanding of the childs strengths and areas of need, which then inform the recommendations and next steps. ", " I believe the key to effective assessment is the collaboration between the psychologist, parents, and the child or adolescent. I consider the parents to be the expert on their child and, with my expertise in the tests, we work together to build empathy for the childs experience and help families understand each other better.
