About me

Are you or your teenager struggling to find answers to complex academic, emotional, or behavioral challenges? Navigating a shifting landscape of focus, mood, or cognitive changes can feel overwhelming without a clear roadmap. I specialize in providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and evidence-based therapy tailored for adolescents and adults. Whether you need a precise diagnostic assessment to unlock the right support, or collaborative therapy to build practical coping strategies, my goal is to provide clarity and a path forward. Together, we will translate complex psychological insights into actionable, real-world tools that foster growth and confidence. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward clarity.

My Approach to Care
I believe that effective mental health care begins with deep understanding. By combining the precision of neuropsychological insights with the warmth of collaborative therapy, I help adolescents and adults uncover why they are struggling and how to move forward. My practice is a safe, non-judgmental space where data-driven science meets compassionate, individualized care.

Who I Work With & How I Help
Children, Adolescents & Families: Navigating school stress, attention difficulties, neurodivergence (like ADHD or Autism), and the intense emotional transitions of the teen years. Adults: Managing executive dysfunction, burnout, anxiety, or coping with cognitive and lifestyle changes. Assessment Seekers: Individuals who feel stuck and need a comprehensive evaluation to get accurate diagnoses, academic accommodations, or a clearer understanding of their brain.

What to Expect in Our Sessions
If we are working together in therapy, our sessions will be practical and collaborative. We won’t just talk about problems; we will build actionable strategies to improve your focus, manage stress, and regulate your mood. If you are coming to me for a neuropsychological evaluation, the process is objective, thorough, and supportive. You will walk away not just with a diagnosis, but with a comprehensive blueprint detailing your cognitive strengths, vulnerabilities, and a step-by-step roadmap for school, work, or daily life.
