Short Biography

Assessment Services

I believe that knowledge about oneself brings about self-awareness and empowerment. Therefore, conducting a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment and differential diagnoses to children, adolescents, and adults is one way to support individuals who are seeking a better understanding of themself. My approach to assessment is driven by the client’s presenting concerns. I approach each assessment with curiosity and a purpose of providing insight about the client’s personal strengths and potential, while also formulating strategies and recommendations to support their areas of need.

My areas of practice include: specific learning disorder, intellectual developmental disorder, attention, executive functioning, anxiety, and depression.
