Our approach is based on our individualized approach ensuring your child’s strengths and weaknesses are fully recognized and allowing us to create a plan for his or her success.

These include memory disorders, dementia, traumatic brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, and neurocognitive and behavioral impairments resulting from physical illness.

In addition to forensic assessments, we have special interests in capacity evaluations in older adults, speaking to one’s medical and financial decision-making abilities.
