Professional Experience
I love to help families and individuals understand their psychological and cognitive functioning. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults to diagnose ADHD, learning disorders, executive functioning or information processing problems, anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and PTSD. Particular focus areas include:
-
Diagnosing ADHD, learning disorders, executive/cognitive processing deficits, and mood and anxiety disorders among gifted teens/young adults
-
Complex psychological assessment, such as diagnostic clarification of mood (including bipolar disorder), anxiety, OCD, psychotic, and trauma related disorders
-
Differential and joint diagnosis of neurodiversity (ADHD, LDs, giftedness) and psychological conditions (depression, bipolar, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD among others).
I am a parent of two teen/young adults who have benefited tremendously from educational and psychological assessment. I know what it is like to worry about your child, and to seek reassurance from a professional. I also know how important it is to get those answers in a timely manner from someone you trust. My goal is to answer your questions and provide a path to wellness and functioning.
