Welcome to Alliance! My practice is committed to focusing on patient strengths and viewing mental health within the context of biological, psychological, educational, and social factors. I enjoy partnering with families, physicians, and educators to help patients achieve their goals.

ASSESSMENT SERVICES

My clinical services include comprehensive psychological assessments for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. I earned the ADHD – Clinical Services Provider designation in 2024 and have specialized in the evaluation of attention and learning disorders for over 10 years. I can also conduct assessments for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and maladaptive personality factors.

Please note that while I can assess Autism Spectrum Disorder within the context of attention and learning concerns, I do not administer the ADOS-2. Patients requesting an evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder will be considered on a case-by-case basis

My primary goal is to provide patients with a comprehensive diagnostic profile and individualized treatment plan that highlights opportunities for growth in both the home and school environments. Although there are increasingly more options for assessing ADHD and learning concerns available to families, a comprehensive psychological evaluation remains the only process that focuses on global functioning, or the BIG picture.

COACHING SERVICES

At this time, I have limited openings available for ADHD/Executive Function Coaching. This one-on-one service is available for patients aged 10 and older. Coaching sessions are 45 minutes in length and focus on teaching practical skills for daily living, developing personalized goals, exploring motivation and roadblocks, and providing support and encouragement. Parent coaching sessions may also be beneficial for younger patients.

Education and Training:

• B.A. – Washington and Lee University
• M.Ed. – The University of Georgia
• Ph.D. – The University of Memphis
• Pre-doctoral Internship – The Center for Counseling, Learning, and Testing, The University of Memphis

I am not currently in-network with any insurance companies. Our office will be happy to provide a superbill if you wish to file for out-of-network benefits.
