Welcome
I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in psychological, neuropsychological, and educational evaluations for adults, children, and adolescents. In addition to my practice, I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Stanford School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and Adjunct Faculty at Palo Alto University.

I offer a variety of evaluation options to help you understand your, or your loved one's, strengths and challenges as well as their root cause. The purpose of these evaluations is two-fold: to present a "full picture" understanding of a person, and to provide individualized strength-based recommendations that consider practicality and access to resources.
