Neuropsychological Assessments
Assessments gather information about a client's strengths and weaknesses from important parts of their lives (i.e., home, school, and community) to guide intervention strategies. My goal is that following a comprehensive evaluation, the client and the client's family will have a deeper understanding of how to plan for and build on strengths.
In psychology, we love data, but unused or not fully understood data is a wasted opportunity. An assessment should be more than a report of strengths and weaknesses. I work to make my reports user-friendly. Assessments can provide a great deal of information about our thinking, processing, and emotional/behavioral functioning. A comprehensive assessment helps educators and others develop a plan tailored to the client's needs. Identifying strengths and weaknesses, processing challenges, and any other factors like motivation or attitudes can be a tool that guides interventions.
Therapy: Individual and Family
Sometimes we get stuck in patterns of thinking or behaving in ways we want to change. While our friends and families are great support, you may need a neutral person trained to help recognize and teach others to support you in the changes you want to make. There are a variety of techniques and approaches that can be used, like cognitive behavior therapy, solution-focused, and life coaching. Research has also shown the “fit” between you and the psychologist is one of the most critical factors in reaching your goals. Therapy is a balance between relationships and the use of empirically supported methods. As a psychologist, my goal is for us to find the combination that works best for you in reaching the desired change to improve your life.
I am a PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) psychologist, which means I am licensed to practice telepsychology services in multiple states. The PSYPACT designation allows me to follow clients through career and academic transitions, including following clients to college when they are in a PSYPACT state.
