Biography

Hi, I’m Dr. Paula. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in various settings. I earned my Doctor of Psychology degree from Florida Institute of Technology and completed my internship with a specialization in children and families. I believe every individual deserves a chance to succeed and lead a fulfilling life. Often, psychological testing can give us a clearer picture of a person's strengths and how those strengths can best be used to navigate life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I have found psychological testing to be a valuable tool in helping clients more fully understand themselves and guide parents to a better understanding of their children’s needs. A thorough evaluation can not only lead to an accurate diagnosis but can also result in access to further supports and needed interventions at any age. Whether it is testing for ADHD, developmental delays, learning differences, emotional issues, or behavioral challenges, a comprehensive evaluation can provide us with a solid direction for treatment. It brings me great joy to watch my clients gain an understanding of and appreciation for their own unique talents and discover a path to happiness.
