When memory, attention, or other changes begin to affect your everyday life, it can be difficult to understand what is happening and why. A neuropsychological evaluation provides a detailed look at how you think and process information, including attention, processing speed, learning and memory, language, visuospatial abilities, executive functioning, reasoning, and other aspects of cognitive functioning.
I use carefully selected, standardized neuropsychological tests, including both paper-and-pencil and computerized measures, to understand your individual pattern of strengths and challenges. Results are considered alongside your developmental, medical, psychological, and personal history to provide a clearer picture of how you are functioning and what may be contributing to your concerns.
I listen to your concerns, gather relevant personal, medical, educational, and work history, and learn more about the symptoms, patterns, and challenges that brought you in. We’ll clarify your questions and goals for the evaluation. Intake usually takes 1-2 hours.

Testing session
I select testing assessment measures based on your specific questions and concerns. Depending on the evaluation, testing may look at areas such as attention, memory, processing speed, reasoning, executive functioning, emotional functioning, or other relevant areas. Testing usually takes 3-5 hours depending on the scope and complexity of the evaluation.
03 /
Feedback session
I bring together the information from your interview, history, testing, and other relevant sources to develop a clear understanding of your strengths, challenges, and patterns. During a 45-minute feedback session, we’ll review the results, discuss what they mean, and identify practical recommendations and next steps. You generally receive a copy of your completed evaluation report.
