Learning Disorders

I have a background in LD/ADHD assessments and neuropsychology. Prior to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, I obtained a Master's in Learning Disabilities from one of the top institutions in the field, Northwestern University. I can help you interpret your testing results, understand how they impact your day-to-day functioning, and teach you to advocate for yourself or your child whether at school or in the workplace. Being neurodivergent doesn't mean there is something "wrong".

Parents are often worried when their child has learning problems in school. There are many reasons for school failure, but a common one is a learning disability. The evaluation involves a comprehensive assessment of your child’s cognitive abilities and academic development. I will then make recommendations on appropriate school placement, the need for special help such as special educational services (IEP/504), and help you assist your child in maximizing his or her learning potential.

I'm a licensed & certified school psychologist who worked in the school system for years doing educational testing, counseling, & crisis response before I decided to branch off on my own & open a private practice. My experience in the schools gives me a unique perspective as a private practice owner; I now have much more time to spend with my clients (finally!), but I also have the knowledge of the ins, outs, strengths, & weaknesses of the psychological services available in our education system

With specialized training in neuropsychological testing, I offer comprehensive evaluations to identify potential learning challenges such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. Through a comprehensive assessment process, including standardized testing and clinical observation, I provide personalized recommendations to support children in overcoming academic barriers and maximizing their learning potential.

We provide full comprehensive evaluations of learning disorders, e.g., dyslexia for children and adolescents. Our evaluations include an individual support plan and school companion document.

Learning disorders are confusing, complicated, and frustrating. I have years of experience with helping clients with learning disorders and look forward to speaking with you of how I can help.

I do comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults to assess for learning disorders, ADHD, and other conditions which may affect learning.

Testing for learning disorders can identify differences in learning styles in children and teens. This testing can reveal areas of need such as reading, writing, spelling, and math and can diagnose dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc. Understanding your child's strengths and weaknesses is important for academic success. I will help to provide recommendations for school when needed.

Children struggle with learning for a variety of reasons. A comprehensive evaluation helps you understand why your child struggles, so that you know what kind of help they need. I take a collaborative approach to partnering with your child's school, so that they understand your child's needs and can develop an effective plan of support.
