I specialize in working with individuals struggling with neurodiversity, learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, autism spectrum concerns, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues and giftedness. I provide coaching that empowers clients with clear answers, practical tools and recommendations ,and guidance along their journey. I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological assessments, focused learning and attention testing, individual therapy and parent coaching.
