Are there times you think your child is capable of better performance in school? Do you feel your child's academic performance is slipping and are you looking for a way to identify educational problems and address them? Neuropsychological and psycho-educational testing may be the answer. I provide comprehensive neuropsychological testing services to preschoolers through young adults. My test battery and report help uncover the underlying causes of academic underachievement such as ADHD, motor skills disorders, communication disorders, mood disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, congenital learning disabilities (LD), inadequate education or a combination of these factors.

There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people move forward in life. "Moving forward" takes on different definitions as we proceed through life, but the bottom line is that everyone gets "stuck" at times. Maybe it's a dead end job, or the boyfriend/girlfriend that hasn't stepped up, or maybe it's more than that. Maybe you don't feel the happiness that you once did and you want it back. Whatever "it" is, it is my privilege as a therapist to help you figure it all out. It is my experience that a person-centered approach (treatment is based on YOUR individual needs and who you are), can lead to life-changing results.
