Evaluation Services

I provide comprehensive evaluations to assess learning, behavior, social skills, and cognitive processing. Information is gathered through a clinical interview, behavioral observations, standardized psychological testing, questionnaires, neuropsychological testing, and a review of records.

After testing, a formal report will be provided which outlines test results, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations. I see clients ages 3+ for a broad range of presenting concerns. I specialize in evaluating ADHD, ASD, giftedness, trauma, and adoption related concerns.

I enjoy completing psychological assessments to help individuals and parents understand the psychological traits and characteristics of the individual. The test data allows me to accurately diagnose various mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, autism, and ADHD. These diagnoses are essential as they help me create the most effective treatment recommendations.

Kindergarten Readiness Evaluations

Parents often wonder whether to enroll their child in school early or wait another year. If you are facing this decision, a Kindergarten Readiness Evaluation can offer valuable, objective insight to help guide you. This assessment looks at key areas of your child’s development, such as language, motor skills, social-emotional behavior, and early learning concepts, to determine school readiness. The results help identify your child’s strengths and highlight areas where additional support may be beneficial. A feedback session is included to provide personalized recommendations that support your child’s growth and success.
