My Services
High-Stakes Assessments. Thoughtfully Delivered. My practice is built on one clear principle: every assessment must be meaningful, thorough, and defensible. I specialize in high-quality psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and families. Whether you're navigating questions about learning, behavior, development, or legal concerns, I provide comprehensive assessments that offer insight—not just information. What You Can Expect When you choose to work with me, you’re choosing: 🔹Objectivity I don’t jump to conclusions. I take time to listen, observe, and analyze before reaching any diagnostic decision or recommendation. People often say they can’t tell which “side” I’m on—because I’m not on a side. I remain neutral and evidence-focused until all data is in and fully interpreted. 🔹 Full Involvement by a Registered Psychologist I conduct all interviews, testing, interpretation, and report writing myself. Unlike many clinics that delegate to psychometrists, students, or associates, I believe the psychologist must be hands-on in order to truly understand the person being assessed. This isn’t an assembly line—it’s a personalized, high-stakes evaluation. 🔹 Timely Turnaround Without Cutting Corners I aim to schedule assessments quickly and return high-quality reports in a timely fashion. I balance speed with care—because families shouldn’t wait months and months for clarity, but they also deserve assessments that are thorough and thoughtful. 🔹 Scientific Rigor and Up-to-Date Practice I stay current with the latest research and best practices in psychological assessment. I invest heavily in ongoing training to ensure every evaluation reflects the most recent science and meets the highest standards in the field. How to Get Started
I do a lot of my own administrative work, but I also have a virtual assistant who helps respond to inquiries and manage bookings.
