As a licensed Psychology Associate who has been with The Stixrud Group since 2001, I have extensive experience in the administration of neuropsychological assessment measures for clients ranging from preschool through adulthood. I take pride in connecting with my clients to ensure that they are at ease and able to give their most accurate performance throughout their session. I further enjoy collaborating with the Stixrud Group psychologists to discover each client’s strengths, as well as areas that would benefit from support. Finally, in my role as Lead Psychology Associate, I train and support my colleagues in order to ensure that we provide the best services possible.
