Is your child facing challenges in school? Are they having trouble concentrating? Suspecting a learning disability? If you or your child is struggling with social, behavioral, emotional, or academic issues, I'm here to assist! Take a proactive approach rather than reacting to a problem that can be addressed if identified early. Evaluations provide valuable insights for treatment, enabling other professionals to make informed decisions for your well-being. Knowledge is empowering! I provide thorough assessments of psychological disorders with a focus on learning disorders, intellectual disability, autism, and ADHD.

I have extensive experience with those affected with anxiety, depression, intellectual disability, ADHD, emotional and behavioral disorders, Autism, developmental delays, parent training, and relationship difficulties.
We all experience stressors on a daily basis, however these stressors can sometimes become triggers and become a heavy load for us to carry through life. We start experiencing difficulties with our relationships with others, in our work or studies and we don't find pleasure in activities we used to.

I also conduct psychological evaluations such as; psychoeducational, intellectual disability, gifted, learning disability, ADHD, emotional/behavioral disorders, and autism.
My first goal is to build extensive rapport with my clients. I don't take the "expert role" but rather I would like to align with you to find out how we can work as a team to achieve your goals and decrease the difficulties you are experiencing. Fears, doubts, perceived failures and inability to express your needs can cause great distress. Let me help you get back on track and achieve more of what you want in life.

Throughout our journey in life, we frequently come across emotional and behavioral hurdles. These obstacles not only affect us individually but can also have repercussions on our family, work, and overall life dynamics. Various factors contribute to the development of emotional and psychological difficulties. These include conditions such as anxiety and mood disorders, struggles with anger, depression, issues with adapting to new situations, and the mounting pressures we face. The exciting part is that there exists a wealth of evidence-based techniques and approaches to help us conquer these obstacles and flourish.

Vulnerability and connection are at the foundation of my therapeutic approach. Whether you are struggling with academic and/or social pressures or a parent wanting to learn how to support and reconnect with your teen, we all crave connection and safety. I have worked in several medical facilities, hospitals, and university counseling centers, specializing in the treatment of adolescents/young adults with eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. I also have extensive experience working with college aged clients and children diagnosed with learning and behavioral disorders.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began my career volunteering in the Child Life department at Miami Children's Hospital, in 2007. It was there that I first developed a passion for helping children. I later discovered the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and loved that I could make a difference in the lives of others through the application of science. I provide ABA therapy where the behaviors are most likely to occur: in the home, at school, and in the community.

My approach is neurodiversity affirming. My role as an evaluator is to listen, understand, & accept a client's lived experience & help identify their struggles, as well as identifying their strengths and aspirations. The evaluation process is a collaborative one in which clients, regardless of age (youths get to be truly heard), have an opportunity to share experiences without time constraints & without having to be viewed solely through a set of test data & questionnaires. While these tools can help clients communicate concerns, test data alone is not the best method in truly understanding one's unique experiences & circumstances.
