• ADHD

  I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD and executive dysfunction. I offer comprehensive evaluations to identify ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions to best support patients seeking treatment for executive dysfunction, academic difficulties, or difficulty with general functioning due to ADHD symptoms.

• Autism

  I offer comprehensive evaluations to identify and diagnose autism spectrum disorder. Given the overlap between ASD and other conditions like OCD, ADHD, and OCPD, it is important to gather a wide range of data to determine the etiology of the symptoms. If you have concerns about your social functioning, emotional functioning, or cognitive functioning due to suspected ASD, I can answer those questions during our comprehensive testing.

• Alzheimers

  For older adults, memory decline can be concerning. My role is to clarify, through neuropsychological testing, the etiology of the concerns and whether it is something neurodegenerative, progressive, neurodevelopmental, or due to typical healthy aging.

• Learning Disorder

  For adults, learning disorders can still be hugely disruptive to functioning, but they are often undiagnosed. Testing can be used to clarify deficits in reading, writing, and math in order to identify specific learning disorders and challenges. There is a lot of overlap between LD and ADHD, so we usually do some differential testing to make sure we get a comprehensive understanding of what is causing the difficulty.

• Intellectual Disability

  Intellectual disability due to neurodevelopmental causes or changes in intellectual functioning due to traumatic brain injury can be challenging to navigate. Neuropsychological testing can be used to identify areas of strength and weakness in intellectual functioning, determine the cause, and make a plan for any treatment or supports that need to be put in place.
