I specialize in testing services ranging from the identification / diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, autism, learning & intellectual disabilities) to complex psychiatric presentations in which mood, personality, social, and cognitive factors may be at play. My goal is to empower individuals who are struggling with emotional, behavioral, social regulations, or other challenges to utilize their strengths to achieve their goals. These goals vary by individual; from goals to improve their academic or occupational functioning, foster healthier relationships, take control of emotional responses, or to understand themselves.
Working as both a school psychologist and a special education teacher in Illinois I have a unique blend of experiences that has allowed me to develop a holistic view of development, where I am able to assist individuals in reaching their full potential. I have a deep passion for working with children and caregivers in fostering their overall wellbeing.
It is my belief that every individual is unique and deserving of individualized, compassionate care. I look forward to hearing more about you and working together to achieve your definition of success, whether that involves emotional well-being, social/relationship goals, academic or occupational achievement, or diagnostic clarity for treatment purposes.
