I work to thoroughly understand each client and their support system. I first get to know you through an extensive intake interview which covers mental health concerns, developmental and medical history, academic and social functioning, and any other concerns you may have. Then, I tailor an assessment battery aimed to answer your specific questions. On testing day, I work hard to make our time together enjoyable. After the testing data has been gathered, I evaluate all of the information holistically to arrive at a comprehensive picture of the client's strengths and weaknesses. Based on these findings, I craft recommendations to help tailor the client's environment to meet their needs. My training in neuropsychological assessment centered on children with primary medical conditions and complex mental health needs. In particular, I am experienced in investigating the intersection between mental health conditions and neurodevelopmental concerns. 

I am from the east coast and love swimming and trying new restaurants. In our free time, my partner and I take our two rescue dogs, Mozzarella and Margherita, on long walks on local trails. I enjoy traveling to see new places and visit family and friends.
