Looking beyond symptoms and diagnoses to understand how individuals think, feel, learn, and navigate the world around them.

Looking beyond symptoms and diagnoses to understand how individuals think, feel, learn, and navigate the world around them.

When a child, adolescent, or young adult is struggling, families often find themselves asking one important question: “Why?” Whether the concern involves attention, anxiety, learning, behavior, emotions, or social development, my goal is to help individuals and families understand what is happening, what may be contributing, and what can help. Through comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and evidence-based counseling, I work to bring greater clarity to complex challenges and identify meaningful paths forward grounded in each person's unique strengths and needs.

Neuropsychological evaluations explore how individuals think, learn, process information, and navigate emotional, behavioral, and social challenges.

Neuropsychological evaluations explore how individuals think, learn, process information, and navigate emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. Through a comprehensive assessment of cognitive, academic, emotional, behavioral, social, and adaptive functioning, evaluations help identify strengths, clarify areas of difficulty, and examine the factors contributing to everyday challenges. Findings are translated into practical, individualized recommendations to guide support at home, in school, and in treatment.

Counseling provides adolescents and young adults with a supportive, collaborative space to explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences.

Clinical areas of focus include ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, anxiety disorders, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and school-related concerns. Evaluation and treatment consider how these challenges may overlap, interact, and affect individuals differently, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of their experiences and needs.
At Inner Light Psychological Services, thoughtful, individualized care begins with understanding the whole person. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses, I take time to explore each individual's strengths, challenges, experiences, and circumstances. This comprehensive approach recognizes that similar difficulties can arise for different reasons and that meaningful recommendations and treatment must reflect those differences.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative experience in which individuals and families feel heard, respected, and supported as we work toward greater understanding and meaningful progress.
