We specialize in testing ADHD in adults and providing targeted, effective therapy.
Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, school, or relationships? Do you become easily distracted and have difficulties being productive? Is it hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and overactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD, which affects about 5% of people. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates significant difficulties, presents barriers to success at work or school, and strains relationships between people with ADHD and those who care about them.

If you are struggling and you don't know what's wrong, or if you suspect ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum and want a more definitive answer, I offer psychological/neuropsych testing for children (ages 8+), adolescents, and adults to identify any academic, behavioral, or emotional problems; as well as provide recommendations for effective treatment strategies.
Do you feel stressed out and tired of trying to do everything yourself? Have you been thinking about talking to someone, but it hasn't felt like the right time yet? And is it getting harder to set certain thoughts and feelings aside and "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to find peace again and achieve the goals which you've wanted but have felt out of reach.

In addition to individual and couples therapy, I conduct testing for learning disabilities and ADHD.
I feel privileged to be a psychologist and my therapeutic style reflects this appreciation. Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I'm aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of the therapeutic relationship and by exploring patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling existence. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I incorporate various therapeutic approaches and interventions, which speaks to our unique needs.

I believe therapy is a journey in which two people walk alongside one another. Where we attempt to illuminate and explore how we all fit into the world around us. Where we can come together in an attempt to feel more grounded in our being. And possibly, where we discover how we want to leave the world once we are called home.

Each of us encounters struggle in our lives: the essential element of my approach to psychotherapy involves the sharing of these struggles in a therapeutic relationship. Once this foundation has been laid, we progress toward mutually agreed upon goals. My patients often find that problems bringing them into therapy are connected to other parts of their lives. We work together to uncover these elements and open doors to greater satisfaction and self understanding.

We each come to therapy for different reasons, but in my experience, it usually has to do with a growing awareness that there’s something standing in the way of our ability to be who we want to be. Sometimes it’s not clear what the obstacle is or even what exactly we are striving for. I believe deeply that therapy can be transformative, and research tells us that the best therapeutic work is compassionate, intentional, and fundamentally collaborative.

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.
