Learning Disorders

I have a background in LD/ADHD assessments and neuropsychology. Prior to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, I obtained a Master's in Learning Disabilities from one of the top institutions in the field, Northwestern University. I can help you interpret your testing results, understand how they impact your day-to-day functioning, and teach you to advocate for yourself or your child whether at school or in the workplace. Being neurodivergent doesn't mean there is something "wrong".

I'm a licensed & certified school psychologist who worked in the school system for years doing educational testing, counseling, & crisis response before I decided to branch off on my own & open a private practice. My experience in the schools gives me a unique perspective as a private practice owner; I now have much more time to spend with my clients (finally!), but I also have the knowledge of the ins, outs, strengths, & weaknesses of the psychological services available in our education system

I have experience in diagnosing and working with teens and adults with learning disorders. I worked in a teen substance abuse clinic for over 5 years, and most often the highest co occurring (comes with) disorder were learning disorders. The learning disorders often predated the substance use, and were not always identified early. Many adults received a diagnosis in their 20's or 30's and need additional supports to function in life.
