Hello
Over the almost 30 years I have been in practice, I have found that assessment can be one of the most powerful tools for healing and growth. It brings clarity, not just labels. It doesn’t just identify challenges - it helps explain them and allows people to feel truly understood. A thoughtful evaluation can validate lived experience, support advocacy, and provide practical tools for growth. Most importantly, it replaces confusion and self-doubt with insight, direction, and hope.
My approach is warm, approachable, and deeply collaborative. I am trauma-informed and relationship-centered. I deeply value difference, creativity, and neurodiversity - and I bring this perspective into every evaluation I conduct. I am passionate about creating an environment where every individual feels seen, respected, valued, and equipped with the tools that make life easier.
My Story
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults for almost 30 years. With a compassionate approach and a deep commitment to accuracy and care, I help clients better understand their strengths, challenges, and the path forward.
My expertise is often sought out for challenging referral questions, and I am committed to providing thorough, compassionate, and individualized care. I believe in taking the time to truly understand each person’s unique story.
My journey has taken me through a variety of settings, from residential care and outpatient clinics to private practice. I have partnered with many public and private schools and supervised doctoral students completing assessments for the unhoused.
