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

With specialized training in neuropsychological testing, I offer comprehensive evaluations to identify potential learning challenges such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. Through a comprehensive assessment process, including standardized testing and clinical observation, I provide personalized recommendations to support children in overcoming academic barriers and maximizing their learning potential.

Parents are often worried when their child has learning problems in school. There are many reasons for school failure, but a common one is a learning disability. The evaluation involves a comprehensive assessment of your child’s cognitive abilities and academic development. I will then make recommendations on appropriate school placement, the need for special help such as special educational services (IEP/504), and help you assist your child in maximizing his or her learning potential.

Learning Disorders can have far more impacts than just in the classroom. They often have wide-ranging effects and can even change the things we do regardless of what we want. In therapy, we cah explore these effects and look at how you want to work past these barriers.

Adolescents with learning disabilities can find school much harder to manage - assignments and tasks takes longer, be more challenging, and potentially be more frustrating. In addition to addressing emotions tied to learning, I also work with adolescents to strengthen their self-advocacy so they can effectively ask for help. I also provide school consultations and observations - collaborating with a school team can have positive impact on academic success and social-emotional wellbeing.

Having a learning disability can create and define you, whether or not you want it. You have struggled and continue to struggle with your relationships, home life, work life and school. You often feel helpless hopeless unworthy misunderstood isolated My approach to helping you is to process your experiences, develop a new narrative around this label and create a new and empowered sense of self.

I have specific experience supporting adolescents and young adults who experience learning disorders as well as supporting parents and caregivers who have children with learning disorders. My first masters is in special education and I spent many years in New York City schools working with children and youth who experience learning disorders and other neuro-diverse experiences.
