I utilize the most current, valid, and reliable psychological tests to understand thoroughly the difficulties clients are experiencing.
I offer psychological evaluations and psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. I clarify diagnostic issues related to disturbances in attention, hyperactivity, learning, mood, anxiety, trauma, personality, disruptive behavior, anger, memory, autism, and many other areas. I identify specific issues contributing to students' lack of progress in school and college and help them get the accommodations they need to succeed. I also help students obtain appropriate accommodations for college admission tests (SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT). I help to determine treatment effectiveness and provide insight into what motivates clients' behaviors. I provide specific and practical recommendations to improve functioning and happiness.

My clinical experience and training includes community mental health, school-based therapy and psychological testing/academic assessment, child/adolescent inpatient/residential care evaluations and psychotherapy, and private agency practice.
I consider my role as psychologist as one who strives to focus on the personal strengths, abilities, and vulnerabilities of a person through empathic support and optimism for positive change. To create a safe place where immediate issues, or chronic problems and patterns, can be identified and explored. To appreciate the whole person as a means to make sense of their experiences and behaviors.

Certain problems in life can seem to really knock us off course. While it's no fun to suffer disorientation, I want to encourage you to hold steady. Life may be nurturing your development, and welcoming these challenges is key to navigating them more deftly. I am confident of this.

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.
