I offer comprehensive diagnostic psychological evaluations for children, teenagers, and adults that focus on:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Autism
- ADHD
- Learning Disabilities (including dyslexia)
- Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Within the context of these evaluations, I have extensive experience and training in clarifying mental health concerns including anxiety, OCD, and depression.

Independent Educational Evaluations
Getting a second opinion about your child’s needs can bring peace of mind. Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) are especially helpful when the school district and family disagree about the results of a special education evaluation.
My role is to provide comprehensive assessments that help both families and districts understand a student’s needs. I provide recommendations with the aim of helping all involved parties take actionable steps and move forward.
-
Individual therapy
I specialize in evidence-based trauma-focused interventions for children, teens, and adults. Neurodiverse children, teens, and adults with varying cognitive and language skills are always welcome here.
Clients and their loved ones will learn key concepts about trauma, including common ways trauma may make us think, feel, and act. Caregivers will learn how to understand and respond to confusing or frightening behaviors so that home feels safe and comfortable again.
-
Clinical consultation
I offer consultation to providers and allied professionals seeking specialized guidance to assist in the diagnosis, management, or treatment of a client.
I also enjoy consulting with individuals working within large systems who are interested in addressing their own moral injury, advocating for systems change, or considering a change of work environment.
I provide clinical consultation in the following areas:
- Delivery of trauma-focused treatment
- Neurodiversity-affirming trauma-focused care and DBT
- Comprehensive psychological evaluation and differential diagnosis when trauma symptoms are present
-
IQ testing for kindergarteners
I offer IQ, or cognitive testing, for admission to several local private schools that require it, including The Evergreen School, University Child Development School (UCDS), Seattle Country Day School (SCDS), and Open Window School.
Families who are not pursuing private school admissions but are interested in gaining insight into their child's cognitive profile for educational planning or general information are also welcome to schedule a testing session.
-

I offer trainings, workshops, talks, and consultation for schools, organizations, and individuals hoping to expand their knowledge and skills. Selected topics include:
- Providing trauma-informed clinical and educational services- Trauma-focused treatment for autistic people
- Supporting educators in designing and implementing behavior change for students (individual, classroom, and school-wide)
