A few questions, answered
I truly enjoy working in-person with clients. Psychometry allows me to work from beginning to end with a client with a clear goal in mind.
While testing is standardized, I love meeting new clients and their families and building rapport with them
I truly wish that everyone had the opportunity to undergo an assessment. We all think and learn differently, and that’s okay, in fact, it’s awesome. It just makes sense to me that once our strengths and relative weaknesses are identified, we can then maximize our potential by ensuring that our education is tailored to better address our needs.
My family
Feeling a sense of purpose when parents/care givers gain a better understanding of their child's strengths and needs and by providing recommendations in order to better maximize each child's potential/success
I have been married for 30 years and it takes love, respect, trust, patience, and work! It’s important to have fun together, support each other through the tough times, and accept each other's differences.
