Neuropsychological & Psychoeducational Evaluations
I provide psychoeducational and neuropsychological assessments in both English and Spanish. My approach is grounded in an ecological perspective; I consider the whole picture, including cognitive functioning, emotions, behavior, family context, school environment, and broader influences, to better understand both strengths and areas of need.
My goal is not just to assign a diagnosis, but to understand what is unique about each individual and how to best support them. Diagnoses can be informative and useful, but they are never the full story. I place a strong emphasis on accurate, culturally and linguistically responsive assessment, and I work closely with families to ensure the process is thoughtful, clear, and not overly pathologizing.
With training and experience in both school psychology and clinical neuropsychological assessment, I provide comprehensive evaluations that help clarify how someone learns, thinks, regulates emotions, and navigates daily life. These insights are used to guide practical recommendations for support at home, in school, and across other settings.
I am also highly familiar with the educational system and regularly collaborate with educators and families through IEP and 504 processes. My role in this work is to help translate assessment findings into clear, actionable support plans and to ensure students receive appropriate services—nothing less than what they need, and nothing unnecessary beyond that.
Understand your child’s strengths and Needs
More than a diagnosis, comprehensive evaluations can provide full picture of you or your child’s strengths and vulnerabilities. Often families leave feeling like they finally have answers to ongoing questions and concerns. Evaluations can provide insight and clarity to patterns that have been noticed. Most importantly, these evaluations offer a roadmap toward providing appropriate supports and next steps in helping you or your child thrive.

Comprehensive Psychological & Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Evaluation costs can vary depending on the provider, referral question, and complexity of the evaluation. My out-of-pocket fee for a comprehensive evaluation typically ranges from $3,800–$4,500, with the final fee determined by the scope and complexity of the evaluation. A comprehensive evaluation may include:
Comprehensive intake interview
Review of available & relevant records
Developmental, medical, educational, and psychosocial history
Rating scales and questionnaires
Approximately 4–8 hours of direct testing, as clinically indicated
Cognitive assessment
Attention and executive-function assessment
Emotional and behavioral assessment
Autism-specific assessment, when indicated
Scoring, integration, and interpretation of assessment results
Diagnostic formulation and differential diagnosis
Comprehensive written report
Individualized recommendations
60-minute feedback session, including support with school consultation and navigating special education needs
The goal of a comprehensive evaluation is to look beyond whether a particular diagnosis fits. I want to understand the individual more broadly at how they are functioning across settings, what may be contributing to their current difficulties, and what supports or interventions may be helpful moving forward.
At the same time, comprehensive does not mean unnecessary. I do not believe in adding testing simply for the sake of being thorough. The evaluation is tailored to the specific questions we are trying to answer, with assessment measures selected based on the individual’s history, presenting concerns, and referral needs. This allows the evaluation to be both thorough and efficient while ensuring that the results provide meaningful information that can actually be used to guide next steps.
Looking for something more focused? Not every situation requires a full comprehensive evaluation. If you are primarily looking to update an existing diagnostic profile, obtain current documentation for school or other purposes, or have a more specific evaluation question addressed, a more concise assessment with a brief summary or diagnostic letter may be appropriate. If that sounds more like what you need, feel free to reach out and we can discuss the options.
