Assessment

Psychological and psychoeducational assessments provide a deeper understanding of how an individual thinks, learns, feels, and behaves. I offer comprehensive, evidence-based evaluations designed to clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and areas of need, and guide effective treatment planning across home, school, and work environments.
​
Assessments are appropriate for children, adolescents, college students, and adults who are experiencing academic, emotional, behavioral, or developmental concerns and are seeking clear answers and actionable recommendations.

Diagnostic Assessment

A diagnostic assessment focuses on emotional and mental health concerns. The goal is to better understand what a person is experiencing and whether symptoms fit a specific diagnosis. Psychological reports include a description of the diagnosis as well as vetted treatment recommendations. â€‹â€‹

Psychoeducational Testing

A psychoeducational assessment helps explain how a person learns, thinks, and processes information. It looks at learning strengths, academic skills, attention, and organization. These evaluations are often used to understand learning differences, attention concerns, or why school feels harder than expected.​​

Behavior Management

A behavior management assessment centers on identifying patterns in child or adolescent misbehavior and roadblocks to progress. After gathering verbal, quantitative and observational data, I create clear, personalized and actionable recommendations for parents, schools, and community programs.
