As a school psychologist with over 20 years experience, it has been my passion to help students get the most out of their educational experience. I decided to take my experience from working in the schools to private practice to broaden my commitment to helping others better understand themselves. I believe psychological assessments can be a useful tool in doing so.

An assessment can include a multitude of tools such as, cognitive, academic, adaptive behavior, behavior rating scales, and personality assessments. Cognitive assessments measure a person's cognitive abilities- problem solving, reasoning, vocabulary, comprehension, processing speed, and memory. They are more commonly known as intelligence or IQ tests, and are used to identify a person's strengths and potential, as well as to help identify weaknesses. Academic assessments are typically used for the school aged population to test how much an individual has progressed in learning a specific subject. Adaptive behavior measures the social, communication, and practical skills of a person, to determine their ability to function on a daily basis at home, school or work. Behavior rating scales measure a variety of emotional and behavioral problems both at home and school. Personality assessments focuses on the personality traits of an individual. It helps evaluate if a person is more introverted or extroverted, cautious or spontaneous, and how they may react or respond to various life situations.
