I genuinely believe that people do well if they can! Everyone wants to succeed and feel capable and confident in their life. Struggles often stem from very real obstacles in the way. A quality assessment can be instrumental in creating a meaningful and effective way forward. I specialize in comprehensive assessments to provide insight into areas of strengths, skill development, advocacy, and support. There is no one right way to approach thinking, learning or experiencing life. I offer parent and school consultation to improve connection and family relationships and help people thrive in all aspects of their life.
I have extensive experience working with children, teens and adults with diverse abilities and complex needs within community, healthcare, and school-based settings. I specialize in assessments for academic difficulties, learning disorders, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, capacity assessments, social-emotional well-being, autism, anxiety, and depression.
I am passionate about supporting individuals and families in gaining a better understanding of themselves and /or their child. I offer thoughtful and compassionate care to support clients with concrete next steps tailored to their needs and provide them with the tools and resources to advocate for themselves.
