Assessment
Dr. B provides comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Each assessment is grounded in science and guided by empathy—helping individuals and families gain clarity, direction, and understanding.
A thorough evaluation offers more than a diagnosis—it provides understanding. Dr. B believes assessment is a process of discovery, helping individuals and families make sense of patterns in thinking, learning, emotion, and behavior. With warmth and precision, she translates complex data into meaningful insights and practical recommendations that guide treatment, school planning, and personal growth. Every evaluation is approached with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for the person behind the profile.

Dr. B’s Approach
Every evaluation with Dr. B is guided by compassion, cultural awareness, and collaboration. She views assessment as a partnership—listening closely to each story, considering the whole person, and tailoring the process to meet individual needs.
Whether working with a child, teen, or adult, Dr. B combines evidence-based tools with genuine human connection to create a safe, affirming, and empowering experience. Her goal is not only to clarify how the mind works, but to help each person move forward with confidence, understanding, and hope.
Child Evaluations
Evaluating children takes more than clinical expertise—it requires patience, playfulness, and a genuine connection with each child. Dr. B brings specialized training and years of experience in developmental and neuropsychological assessment, blending evidence-based methods with a compassionate approach that helps children feel safe and understood.
Her evaluations identify factors related to neurodivergence (such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or ADHD), learning disabilities, emotional regulation, and adjustment or immigration-related stress. Each assessment highlights both strengths and areas of need, giving families a clear and actionable roadmap for support, advocacy, and long-term growth.
Adult Evaluations
Psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for adults can provide powerful insight into one’s inner world. Dr. B helps adults explore patterns of attention, mood, learning, and coping, often clarifying conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, or late-identified neurodivergence.
Evaluations can inform treatment planning, workplace or academic accommodations, and personal development—offering clarity, validation, and a path forward. For many adults, an evaluation is the first step toward meaningful self-understanding and lasting change.
