Clarity, Compassion, and Answers through Assessment
Psychological and Educational Testing for Children, Teens, and Adults in San Mateo
Are you wondering why your child is struggling in school - even though they seem bright or capable? Are you, as an adult, facing challenges with focus, memory, or emotional ups and downs that don’t quite make sense?
As a highly-experienced psychologist in San Mateo, I provide warm, comprehensive evaluations to help children, teens, and adults better understand how their brain works - and what supports will help them thrive.
Whether you are exploring ADHD testing, an autism assessment, or need gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) evaluation, I’m here to guide you with expertise and empathy.
Assessment is the cornerstone of my practice.
Specialized Evaluations
Each person is unique. That is why I tailor every assessment to your individual needs.
Common services for kids, teens, and adults:
-
ADHD testing
-
Learning disability assessments
-
Neuropsychological assessments (memory, EF)
-
Autism evaluations
-
Gifted and 2e testing (twice-exceptional)
-

Provides Understanding
I understand how important this process is for you, and how much you care about getting it right. A psychoeducational or psychological assessment provides more than just a diagnosis. It helps:
-
Identify strengths and areas of growth
-
Illuminate emotional factors
-
Reveal neurotypes like autism
-
Document need for accommodations (IEPs, 504 plans)
-
Provide knowledge about supports to help you thrive
-
Offer peace of mind and a way forward
I use evidence-based tools and the most current testing methods, but I never lose sight of the human behind the data. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with people who are looking to enrich their lives, through greater self-understanding or by overcoming specific hurdles.
Even if no diagnosis is made, you will obtain valuable information about learning style and strategies for success.
Expertise
Each evaluation is a collaborative journey. My commitment is to walk alongside you with compassion, expertise, and respect, helping you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I bring:
-
Skill in complex, nuanced assessments
-
Expertise in diagnostic accuracy using testing
-
Knowledge about documentation for accommodations
-
Awareness of differences in test performance across gender and neurotype
-
Training in multicultural assessment
-
Customized evaluations: boutique and comprehensive
