As a father of two children, I know how important it is to seek the best education for our children. Being a compassionate licensed psychologist with over fifteen years of experience in supporting children who struggle with learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety and depression, I understand that learning, socializing and adapting to new environments can be difficult. Psychological testing can highlight a child’s strengths, clarify areas of need, and provide parents and teachers with practical steps they can take. I work with children with all levels of skill and areas of concern. Together with parents and teachers, we work to ensure that your child has the appropriate environment for learning. I completed a doctorate in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology and a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology.

I have been licensed as a psychologist in California since 2000. Whether a child is inattentive, anxious, sad or struggling to learn, parents may feel unsure of the best ways to help. Through psychological testing and educational support, we guide parents in a compassionate way to a better understanding of the issues and effective solutions.

Since 2000, parents have put their trust in the licensed psychologists at The Pratt Center for psychological assessments of their children. We highlight areas of strength and talent while documenting any less developed skills. We complete psychological assessments of intelligence, academic skills and learning disabilities. We also evaluate anxiety, depression and social skills. Psychological testing can document issues with attention, memory and processing speed.

Psychological testing can assist parents in school placement and clarify the need for educational accommodations and special education services. In completing a psychological assessment, our licensed psychologists spend 18 to 24 hours to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child. We are financially independent of schools, and our psychologists are qualified to give diagnoses, including learning disabilities, ADHD, depression, anxiety, Aspergers and other conditions. We generally have psychological assessment reports ready within one or two weeks of when testing is completed. Our recommendations are thorough, practical and easily understood.
