Why I Love What I Do

Have you ever felt helpless, lost, or confused as a parent? Felt overwhelmed by the daily decisions we face as parents compounded by the number of differing opinions on how to be a good parent? Alongside the intense love a parent feels for their child can also come worry, fear, and a deep desire to do everything that we can to nurture their development. Watching your child struggle at school, be rejected by friends, hurt themselves, or explode with anger can feel like an open wound that will not heal. A journey this important should not be undertaken alone.

I walk with families on a journey of discovery to uncover why a child is struggling using comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments. In my practice, identifying a diagnosis is neither the beginning nor the end of the journey. For example, saying a child has AD/HD does very little to tell me about the individual strengths and areas for growth of that child. A comprehensive assessment provides rich context to help understand the unique needs of your child so that we can work collaboratively to identify ways to celebrate their strengths and bolster their areas of growth at home, school, and beyond.

My goal is to empower parents by helping them to better understand their child and instill confidence that their child is on the path to thriving. Let us work together to build a community of support for both the child and the family.
