If your child is struggling with learning, focus, or behavior, and you are not getting clear answers, you are not alone.
I work with children and teens when school has become confusing, stressful, or discouraging to uncover what’s really going on. At EmpowerED, my focus is on thorough school neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations that help make sense of how your child’s brain works and what they need to thrive.
I am especially drawn to the “solving the puzzle” part of this work. I love taking all the pieces of information we gather and using them to figure out exactly what is going on for your child and what changes will make the biggest difference for them at school and at home.
From there, I work with you and your child’s team to create plans that are realistic and genuinely supportive, not cookie‑cutter.
I have experience with students from ages 3 through 22 in public and private schools, homeschool settings, and residential facilities.
