The right assessment doesn't just label a challenge — it reveals a roadmap. Comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations that cut through the noise and give families, educators, and students the clarity they deserve.
Every child is different. Every evaluation is tailored to uncover what's truly going on — so the path forward is clear, not confusing.
Comprehensive evaluations that examine cognitive functioning, academic achievement, and social-emotional factors — producing a detailed profile that informs IEPs, 504 plans, and educational placements.
Warm, collaborative therapy for children and adolescents navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, or adjustment difficulties. A safe space where young people can develop real coping tools.
Working alongside schools, families, and other providers to ensure every child's needs are understood and met. I translate assessment findings into practical recommendations educators and parents can use.
As a school psychologist based in Harrisonburg, I work at the intersection of mental health and education — because the challenges children bring to the table rarely fit neatly into one category. A learning difficulty may sit alongside anxiety. A behavioral concern may be a response to an undiagnosed processing gap.
My approach is collaborative and thorough. I take the time to understand each child as a whole person — their strengths, their struggles, their context — so the recommendations I make are grounded in real understanding rather than assumptions.
Whether you're a parent seeking answers, a school looking for assessment support, or an educator wanting to better understand a student, I'm here to help clarify the picture and point toward meaningful next steps.
We start with a conversation — no pressure, no commitment. Share what's on your mind, ask your questions, and we'll determine whether and how I can help.
Using validated, research-backed tools, I conduct a thorough evaluation tailored to your child's unique situation. This may span one or multiple sessions.
You'll receive a detailed written report and a feedback session where findings are explained in plain language — along with specific, actionable recommendations.
Whether your child needs therapy, IEP consultation, or simply a trusted professional to consult with, I'm here for the long haul — not just the assessment.
The assessment report gave us something we'd been searching for years — a clear understanding of how our son's mind works. For the first time, we knew exactly what to ask for at school and how to support him at home.
