Assessment: I assess individuals throughout the lifespan: -Children and Adolescents -Adults -Older Adults.
My goal is to provide individuals and families with clear actionable information about what difficulties they are facing and what interventions are likely to be helpful.
With children and adolescents, questions may involve ADHD, Learning problems, behavioral issues, and emotional difficulties. Parents can be much more effective when they have a clear understanding of the challenges that their child faces, and a game plan for addressing those challenges.
Adults often come to a place in life where they know that something is not right, but don’t have a good idea what the problems are. A thorough psychological evaluation can help identify such problems as ADHD, personality and emotional issues, and skills deficits that once addressed can set you free to be more powerful and effective in your life.
Older Adults can have concerns about possible dementia. Evaluation may alleviate those concerns for them and their families or may provide a clear understanding of what to expect in the future and how to prepare for it.
Forensic: Oftentimes courts may have questions about an individual that a carefully executed psychological evaluation can effectively answer. Such questions arise when individuals file personal injury suits, when there are questions of competence and need for guardianship or conservatorship, and with employment or disability questions.
