A two-hour combination of history-taking and direct testing, this brief assessment is meant to reassure, but also facilitate timely, in-depth followup, where needed.
As a former teacher from a family of teachers, I have, since 1996, maintained a private practice that is devoted to the assessment of learning difficulties. I work with students age 12+ and adults in higher education or the workplace, who have difficulties in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, attention, and/or executive functioning. Psychological, neuropsychological, and educational assessment tools are chosen for each individual, to build on strengths, facilitate appropriate support, and help each individual learn the best strategies for managing any challenges.

My work is informed by my experience in the field of disabilities in higher education, social justice lens, my own cultural background and experience in education, and passion for the insight and understanding gained through testing.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon and California. Currently, I am only providing comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations. I conduct assessments for ADHD, learning disabilities, brain injury, psychological functioning and more. I work with adults, but I specialize in young adults and college students. So many people come to me saying they've felt different their whole lives, couldn't talk to anyone about it, and found ways to compensate over the years. Evaluations can provide clarity, validation, and answers so that folks can understand themselves better and seek the right support.

Parenting a young child is challenging, but it is so much more difficult when your child is oppositional, defiant, and/or aggressive. Many parents blame themselves, feel isolated, and are unsure of what to do. You can be the solution, though! Through a unique approach called Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I coach parents and guardians in developing the necessary tools for promoting a healthy relationship with their children based on mutual love and respect. In return, children feel more secure and are less interested in testing boundaries. PCIT has strong scientific support and is highly effective in person or online!

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.
