Biography
Hi, I’m Dr. Paula. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 35 years of experience in various settings. I believe every individual deserves a chance to succeed and lead a fulfilling life. 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. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What does our first session look like?
In our first session, we will spend some time getting to know each other and gathering information. This will allow me to determine what we need to focus on in the evaluation and how to best proceed. And, of course, I will try to address any questions or concerns you (or your child) may have! We will talk about what to expect with the next two evaluation and feedback sessions, what information we can gain from the testing, and what the evaluation can provide in terms of recommendations and support.
