Testing with Kids & Families
My rotating bowl of fidgets. Which one will be your favorite?
For the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with remarkable families, training psychologists, and collaborating with a range of professionals to provide psychological assessment services in the Triangle. My current practice is rooted in a collaborative and therapeutic approach, centering the family and honoring each person’s unique story.
Each assessment is highly personalized, with carefully selected tools and methods designed to address your family’s specific questions and concerns. My process is evidence-based and informed by current research, ensuring that every evaluation is both thorough and meaningful. Assessment with me is more than collecting scores; it is an opportunity to understand the whole child and the family system in context.
The assessment process itself is therapeutic, inviting reflection, new perspectives, and practical ideas for positive change. The insights gained can open doors, clarify next steps, and empower families with individualized strategies and solutions. My written reports are clear, compassionate, and actionable, supporting you as you advocate for your child at school, in the community, and beyond.

My approach
Compassionate
My first goal is that you feel heard, understood, and supported. By the time families come to my office, they have often had a difficult road. I want to acknowledge their journey and show how honored I am to walk alongside them.
Comprehensive
I have an extensive test library of the most up-to-date tests available to answer the specific questions you have about your child. I leave no stone unturned, and my assessments are known to be thorough.
Collaborative
I work from a model called Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment (CTA). I consider you the person who knows your child best. When we combine your expertise of your child with my expertise in psychological testing, it’s amazing what we can accomplish! I also collaborate with other professionals, including teachers, tutors, therapists, and physicians, to ensure the insights gleaned from the assessment are put into practice.

“Thank you so much for the thorough evaluation on S. Your detailed report is ‘healing’ in itself to see in writing S.’s strengths and areas to work on and how we can specifically support him…Most importantly, we shared the report with S. and read it aloud for all of us to process this valuable information as a family. Thank you for your expertise. We are so grateful!”
