Thoughtful, Developmentally Informed Psychological Evaluations
I am a licensed psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist specializing in comprehensive, strengths-based psychological evaluations for children and adolescents. I occasionally work with young adults on a case-by-case basis when concerns overlap with developmental, learning, or executive functioning needs.
My evaluations are designed to provide clarity beyond brief screening. I integrate gold-standard assessment tools, developmental history, and real-world information to create reports that are thoughtful, individualized, and practical. Feedback sessions are collaborative and clear, with an emphasis on translating results into actionable recommendations that truly support children and families at home, at school, and in daily life. When developmentally appropriate, I also offer individualized feedback sessions with children or adolescents to help them understand their learning profile, strengths, and areas of growth in a way that is affirming, accessible, and empowering.
Following the intake appointment, families receive a personalized Good Faith Estimate outlining the anticipated scope of services and estimated total cost for the evaluation.
Insurance & Payment
Credentialing is currently in progress with Regence BlueShield and Premera Blue Cross under my independent practice. Until enrollment is finalized, services are offered on a self-pay basis.
Many families choose to submit Superbills to their insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies widely by plan, but some families receive partial reimbursement for evaluation services.
To help simplify this process, I partner with Reimbursify, a secure service that allows families to submit Superbills to their insurance company through the Reimbursify app or website.
Insurance coverage varies by plan and reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.
Detailed information about insurance and payment options is provided to families during the scheduling and intake process.
