If you or your loved one struggles with focus, impulsivity, or staying organized, an ADHD evaluation can bring clarity and support. I’ll sit down with you to hear about your experiences, challenges, and history, and we’ll use trusted tools like questionnaires and cognitive tests to understand how your mind works. For kids, I’ll connect with parents or teachers to get a full picture. Together, we’ll confirm if ADHD is present and celebrate your unique strengths. I will offer recommendations to help you move forward and get the appropriate treatment to help you thrive.
If you or a loved one are noticing memory slips or changes in thinking, a dementia screening can offer answers with care and compassion. We’ll talk together—maybe with family, too—about what’s been happening, and I’ll use simple cognitive tests to check memory, attention, and other skills. I’ll also explore mood to make sure we’re seeing the whole picture. My goal is to provide clarity and guide you toward the next steps, whether it’s a diagnosis or a plan for further testing.
Wondering if you or your child might be on the autism spectrum? I’m here to walk you through an autism evaluation with kindness and understanding. We’ll talk about your experiences, from childhood to now, and use engaging tools and observations to explore social connections, behaviors, and sensitivities. For kids, I’ll check in with parents or teachers for their insights. I will offer a diagnosis when appropriate and will offer recommendations to support your unique needs, whether it’s therapy, accommodations, or new strategies.
If school or work feels harder than it should, a learning disability evaluation can help you understand why. I’ll use tests to measure your cognitive strengths and academic skills, like reading, math, or problem-solving. I’ll also check in on how you’re feeling to ensure we cover everything. My aim is to pinpoint challenges, highlight what you’re great at, and recommend tools—like extra time, accommodations, or tutoring.
When life feels overwhelming and you’re not sure why, a diagnostic clarification evaluation can help make sense of things. In a warm, open conversation, we’ll explore your feelings, experiences, and history. I’ll use trusted questionnaires or tests to gently uncover what’s going on—whether it’s anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, Bipolar, or something else. My goal is to give you clear answers, rule out what doesn’t fit, and create personalized recommendations to help you get the proper treatment.
