About me

As a licensed psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist with over 8 years of experience, I believe providing a comprehensive psychological evaluation can help individuals better understand themselves and access the support they deserve. I believe a thorough evaluation goes beyond the surface and makes sense of the complicated. I utilize an individualized approach and personalize testing batteries to fit your or your child’s needs. This means comprehensive evaluation of individual strengths and weaknesses. I consider myself to be a neurodiverse-friendly and LGBTQ+ affirming psychologist.

I obtained my doctorate in school psychology from The Ohio State University and have extensive experience in providing psychological evaluations. I received specialized training in:

  • Neurodevelopmental evaluations at The Ohio State University Nisonger Center.

  • Providing evaluations for children and adolescents with complex needs at the National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP).

  • Assessing learning disabilities and other school-related difficulties in school settings at all grade levels.

I offer evening and weekend appointments.
