Comprehensive Assessments for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Testing is my specialty and primary professional activity. Simply put, testing occupies the vast majority of the time I spend working.

I have been using tests clinically for 20 years and have spent the majority of my time as licensed person in private practice conducting assessments.

I have worked in varied settings which has given me first-hand experience with people across the diagnostic spectrum. 

I have also worked in different regions of the country and with individuals from varied cultures, ethnicities and socio-economic situations.

I am able to bring knowledge of personality and developmental level to all my assessments, whether this is the primary focus or not.

I am flexible and interested in working with different kinds of people and different kinds of issues. I am just as glad to perform a comprehensive examination and report as I am a targeted one with verbal feedback.

The recommendations that are made are based on an understanding of the total individual. Recommendations are written to be realistic, actionable and feasibly implemented.

When requested, I provide ongoing support and advocacy. This might entail additional meetings to discuss results, the implementation of recommendations or consultation with schools, doctors or other practitioners.

I am a “straight-shooter” and my goal is to provide an honest, understandable and scientifically informed assessment. I hope that the experience will help both the person being tested and their family to understand and cope with problems that led to examination.
