About

Are you struggling and uncertain how to overcome the barriers you feel ahead of you? Is your child overwhelmed and seemingly unable to achieve up to potential, worried about things in life, or having trouble focusing and getting things done? Talented people can lose sight of their many strengths, and need support in figuring out what is keeping them from functioning at their best. Using strengths-focused testing, evaluation and counseling approaches, I work with children, teens and young adults to foster talents, identify needs, and enhance skills. Targeted approaches for ADHD, anxiety, executive functioning, giftedness, dyslexia, dysgraphia and other learning disorders can help address your unique way of processing the world around you. Psychological and psychoeducational evaluations provide more than just results by promoting self-understanding, growth and resilience throughout each part of the testing process. The challenges facing you or your child can feel overwhelming when tackled alone. Together, we can work to find that new direction you are seeking and better understand the barriers that have been in the way. Let's connect to set up a time to chat. Private pay practice Superbills can be provided to client directly if appropriate. https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1204322
