Psychological Testing & Assessment
Compassionate psychological assessments for all ages, to help you or your loved one feel seen, understood, and better supported.
Where understanding leads to feeling better.
Supportive testing that leads to answers, understanding, and next steps that actually make a difference.
Specialized Clinical Assessment Services
I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults, adolescents, and children seeking clarity, understanding, and meaningful next steps. My approach combines evidence-based assessment with careful clinical observation to help identify patterns that may have gone misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked for years.
Neurodivergence & Diagnostic Clarification
Thoughtful evaluations for adults seeking answers related to ADHD, autism, executive functioning difficulties, learning differences, anxiety, masking, or long-standing emotional and cognitive patterns. Assessments are tailored to the individual and designed to provide practical, real-world insight.
Educational & Learning Evaluations
Comprehensive testing to better understand learning challenges, attention difficulties, academic struggles, and cognitive processing differences. These evaluations help families and schools identify appropriate support, accommodations, and pathways forward.
Complex Behavioral & Emotional Presentations
Evaluations focused on adaptive functioning, daily living challenges, support needs, and real-world functioning across home, school, work, or community settings. Assessments are designed to provide meaningful clinical clarification and practical recommendations for next steps and support planning.
Adaptive & Functional Evaluations
Clinical evaluations and documentation to assist families seeking supportive services, functional clarification, or care recommendations related to adaptive functioning, supervision needs, and daily living challenges.
Forensic & High-Complexity Consultation
Specialized assessment services for medically, legally, or diagnostically complex cases requiring detailed clinical analysis, careful documentation, and evidence-based diagnostic reasoning.
The Journey Toward Clinical Clarity
Initial Discussion
PHASE 1
Each case begins with a thorough conversation to ensure the evaluation is tailored to your specific background and addresses your primary questions.
PHASE 2
Testing Session
A personalized series of assessments helps clarify how a person thinks, learns, regulates emotions, and experiences the world. Findings are integrated into a detailed, evidence-based understanding that guides meaningful recommendations and next steps.
PHASE 3
Results Review
We meet together to review the findings in a clear, thoughtful, and collaborative way. I explain patterns, diagnoses, and recommendations in language that is accessible, meaningful, and grounded in evidence.
PHASE 4
You receive a detailed, individualized report designed to help you better understand yourself or your loved one. Findings and recommendations are clearly explained and can be used to support medical, educational, or legal planning when needed.
Detailed Report
Assessment Process & Fees
Every evaluation is tailored to the individual referral question, clinical presentation, and level of complexity. Some concerns require comprehensive multi-stage testing, while others may only need focused assessment and diagnostic clarification.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, evaluations are structured thoughtfully and collaboratively to ensure testing remains clinically meaningful, practical, and appropriately targeted.
Services are offered as private pay. Because financial concerns should not prevent access to clarity and understanding, payment plans and staged assessment options may be available depending on clinical need. Documentation for possible out-of-network reimbursement can be provided upon request.
Please contact the office to discuss referral questions, current rates, and scheduling availability.

Request a Professional Clinical Consultation for Assessment
An initial consultation serves as the essential first step in determining whether a formal assessment is appropriate for your specific needs. Please reach out to discuss individual goals and explore the most effective diagnostic path.
The answers gained through a thoughtful psychological evaluation can be life-changing. If financial concerns are making you hesitate, please don't assume an evaluation is out of reach. Whenever possible, I work with individuals and families to explore staged assessment options and flexible payment arrangements so that access to clarity and understanding is not unnecessarily limited by cost.
