ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Mood Disorders & Giftedness Evaluations
My assessments are designed to help clients and families better understand how the brain works — while identifying practical supports, meaningful accommodations, and each person’s unique strengths.
Culturally Responsive
Evaluations are designed with attention to culture, identity, lived experience, masking, and the ways neurodivergence can present differently across individuals and communities.
Strengths-Based
Assessment is not just about identifying what is difficult. I also identify intellectual strengths, creativity, insight, problem-solving abilities, and the ways a person’s brain works well.
Comprehensive
Evaluations examine attention, executive functioning, memory, processing speed, learning, mood, behavior, social-emotional functioning, and more — helping clarify what is actually going on beneath the surface.
ADHD Evaluations
Comprehensive assessment for inattentive, hyperactive, and combined-type ADHD in children, teens, and adults — including executive functioning, working memory, processing speed, attention regulation, and real-world functioning.
Autism Spectrum Evaluations
Autism evaluations for children and adults, including high-masking, late-diagnosed, intellectually gifted, AFAB, and non-stereotypical presentations. Assessment focuses on the full neurodivergent profile — not outdated stereotypes.
Learning Disabilities Assessments
Psychoeducational testing to identify dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences — with practical recommendations for school, college, work, accommodations, and everyday functioning.
Giftedness & 2e Profiles
Assessment for intellectually gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) individuals whose strengths may mask ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or emotional challenges — or whose struggles may mask giftedness.
Payment & Scholarships
CareCredit accepted with 6- and 12-month, zero-interest payment plans for qualified clients.
Jonathan Foundation scholarships are available for qualifying families seeking psychoeducational assessment services.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Licensed in California (PSY30328) & New York (027552)
Brainspotting Therapist · Health Coach · Faith & Spiritual Integration Specialist · Adjunct Professor of Psychology
A Psychologist Who Gets It — Personally & Professionally
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Brainspotting therapist, Health Coach, wife, and mother of three. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of Psychology, with specialty training in the integration of faith and spirituality with psychological practice. I also hold a master’s degree in Christian Leadership, which complements my work helping people living with chronic illness reclaim purpose.
In 2012, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus (SLE) and fibromyalgia while working clinically with individuals living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic medical conditions. That experience transformed how I understand health. I know firsthand the confusion, grief, and questions that can follow a life-altering diagnosis, and I bring that lived understanding into my clinical work.
In therapy, I integrate mindfulness, HRV biofeedback, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based practices into individualized care. My approach is culturally responsive, strengths-affirming, and grounded in whole-person care, with attention to the mind, body, relationships, culture, values, and spirituality when meaningful to the client.
I also specialize in neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments for children ages 5 and older, teens, and adults seeking clarity around ADHD, autism, giftedness, twice-exceptional (2e) profiles, learning disabilities, and mood disorders. Many of the people I assess are bright, capable, and complex, yet have spent years being told they are “too sensitive,” “not trying hard enough,” or doing “fine” because their struggles were not visible to others.
This work is also informed by my own lived experience. I was identified as having ADHD and autism as an adult after decades of masking and being misunderstood. I know what it is like to sense that the explanations you have been given do not fully fit, as well as the relief and self-compassion that can come when you finally have language for experiences you have carried throughout your life.
Across my work, I believe there are many Faces of Health™, and I want to help you discover yours.

“You have struggled long enough with anxiety, stress, pain, and dysfunctional relationships. Life does not have to continue this way.”
Allow me to partner with you to develop a plan to move forward in life — to make sense of the mess, and to help restore wellness in your mind, body, and spirit.
The story of your life may have thrown some unexpected challenges your way. I work with compassion and clinical expertise to help you write the next chapter. Often, healing comes from sharing your story. If you need to be witnessed, I will hold that space for you.
It is not too late for you to find your voice in life and learn to use it. I understand firsthand what it means to receive a life-altering diagnosis — as a psychologist and as a person living with lupus and fibromyalgia. My work is shaped by both rigorous clinical training and lived experience. Taking one step at a time, you can learn to build a life you can love.
