Do you have questions?
Is your child progressing in academics like reading, writing, and math? Are they struggling with focus, behavior, or showing signs of anxiety or depression?
Does your gifted or twice-exceptional child need a different educational setting or accommodations?
As a clinical psychologist, I can help evaluate your child's challenges and provide guidance on their academic, emotional, and social development.

What is an Assessment?
The first step in effectively supporting your child is knowing their strengths and challenges. A comprehensive assessment provides clarity about how your child learns best, why they may be struggling, and what they need to be successful.

How can assessments help?
Each assessment that I conduct is tailored to your child and your questions. Together, we will make a plan for an evaluation that meets your needs and addresses your concerns. Speaking to parents, teachers, and other professionals involved in your child’s care, testing their cognitive and academic skills, and assessing their thoughts and emotions allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your child. With this information, we can create a clear plan to help them thrive at school, at home, and in the community.
