I am a licensed clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, specializing in providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations to school-aged children, adolescents, and adults.  Through thorough testing as well as gathering of important information from previous records, the family, school environment, and health providers (i.e. doctors, psych therapists, speech-language, and occupational therapists, etc), I work to identify a client's behavior and learning style and help plan for success. Common questions I assess include focus/attention, learning, processing issues, and the need for accommodations, medication, therapy, or other key supports.

I provide comprehensive neuropsychological, psychoeducational, and psychological evaluations for school-aged children and

young adults to assess:
