Hi, I’m Kayla, and I specialize in psycho-educational assessments for children and adolescents. My passion is helping families better understand their child’s unique strengths and challenges so they can access the right support and reach their full potential. I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re worried about your child’s development, learning, or emotional well-being. My role is to provide clarity and guidance through comprehensive, evidence-based evaluations.

I work with children and teens who may be experiencing a range of symptoms and presentations, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, giftedness, specific learning disorders, and intellectual disabilities. Sometimes, parents come to me because they’ve noticed their child struggling in school, having difficulty with attention or social interactions, or showing signs of emotional distress. Other times, families want to understand if their child’s advanced abilities or unique learning style require specialized support.

I believe that an assessment is more than just a set of scores – it’s a roadmap. I take time to understand your child as a whole person, not just a checklist of symptoms. Through interviews, observations, and standardized testing, I gather a complete picture of how your child thinks, learns, and feels. Then, I translate that information into practical recommendations you can use at home and at school. Whether it’s identifying accommodations for the classroom, connecting you with resources, or helping you advocate for services, I’m here to make sure you leave with actionable steps.

Families often tell me they appreciate my calm, supportive approach. I know this process can feel intimidating, so I strive to make it as comfortable and collaborative as possible. I’ll walk you through every step, answer your questions, and ensure you feel informed and empowered. My assessments are thorough, but they’re also personalized, because every child is different, and every family deserves a plan that fits their needs.

Getting answers can be life changing. It can open doors to resources, reduce stress, and help your child feel understood. I have witnessed first-hand the impact that a diagnosis can have on a child’s level of support and development.  My role is to provide those answers with compassion and expertise.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect. Together, we can uncover your child’s strengths, identify areas of need, and create a clear path forward.
