Psychological and Psychoeducational Evaluation
I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations and assessments for children, teens, and adults, specializing in ADHD/ADD, autism, anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities. My evaluations support diagnostic clarity, private school admissions, IEP/504 planning, and treatment planning. Each assessment combines standardized testing, clinical interviews, and behavioral observations to deliver clear diagnostic findings, practical recommendations, and individualized strategies that improve academic performance, social functioning, and everyday success.
Psychological Assessment for Children and Teens
If you’re considering a psychological evaluation for your child, you may be wondering what the process looks like, what kind of answers you’ll receive, and how those answers can guide next steps at home, in school, or in treatment.
My approach is to child psychological assessment is built around one core idea: you bring the expertise on your child, and I bring the specialized training in psychological and psychoeducational evaluations. Together, we work as a collaborative team. Before testing begins, we’ll talk through your child’s needs, and what will make this process work best for your family. The evaluation itself is tailored to your child, not a one-size-fits-all checklist, but a thoughtful process designed around who they are. Each psychological evaluation is carefully tailored to ensure the results are accurate, meaningful, and directly applicable to your child’s life.
When' it’s complete, you’ll receive a detailed comprehensive psychological report that integrates all findings into a clear, cohesive understanding of your child. We’ll meet for a feedback session where I explain the results in straightforward language and provide practical, personalized recommendations for school, home, and therapeutic support.
As a licensed clinical psychologist serving Richmond, VA, I remain available beyond the evaluation process. I am an ongoing advocate in your' child’s journey, so you’re not left navigating the results on your own.

Assessment for Adults
Psychological evaluations aren’t just for children. Many adults seek assessment after years of feeling like life is harder than it should be at work, relationships, or simply getting through the day. If you’ve been searching for answers, you deserve more than another decade of pushing through without clarity.
A comprehensive psychological evaluation can provide meaningful insight into patterns that may have gone unrecognized, including concerns related to attention (ADHD), anxiety, mood, personality, and long-standing learning differences. Adult psychological assessment is not just about diagnosis, it’s about understanding the full picture of how you think, feel, and function.
Through a collaborative and individualized assessment process, we identify both challenges and strengths, helping you make sense of your experiences in a way that feels accurate and validating. At the end of the process, you’ll receive a detailed psychological report with practice, personalized recommendations.
Individual and Couples Therapy
Maybe you’re managing fine on the outside. Showing up, getting things done. But inside, there’s a quiet (or not so quiet) struggle. Patterns you can’t seem to break, relationships that feel harder than they should, a critical voice that won’t let up, or emotions that either take over or go completely flat.
You’ve probably tired to figure it out on your own. And a part of you wants things to be different, while another part isn’t sure how or whether change is even possible.
That’s exactly where we start.
Therapy is a collaborative process. As a licensed clinical psychologist offering adult psychotherapy in Richmond and via telehealth in PSYPACT participating states, I approach this work with structure and flexibility. Think of me as a GPS: you decide where we’re going, and I help us get there, but you’re always in the driver’s seat. You’re the expert on your own life. My job is to bring clinical expertise, active guidance, and a focus on helping you feel genuinely understood while building meaningful, lasting change.
