I specialize in comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for individuals with complex, overlapping, or previously misunderstood presentations. My assessments go beyond identifying symptoms to explore how developmental history, cognitive functioning, personality, mental health, and neurodevelopmental factors interact. Through careful differential diagnosis, I help clarify whether challenges are best explained by autism, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, executive functioning difficulties, learning differences, or a combination of factors. I have particular expertise in evaluating late-identified and high-masking individuals whose experiences may not fit traditional diagnostic profiles, providing meaningful answers, accurate diagnoses, and practical recommendations for support and accommodations.
Psychoeducational testing is a comprehensive psychological evaluation that examines cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The testing battery usually consists of an IQ test and an achievement test, in addition to various rating scales and observations. These evaluations help identify learning disabilities, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, and other factors that may affect academic performance. This also includes testing for twice-exceptionality, or giftedness. Comprehensive testing provides clear recommendations for school supports, accommodations, and intervention planning.
A neuropsychological assessment evaluates attention, memory, executive functioning, processing speed, and other cognitive abilities. These psychological evaluations can help identify ADHD, learning differences, autism-related challenges, concussion effects, and other neurological or developmental concerns. Results provide actionable recommendations for home, school, and workplace success.
