About Dr. Lauren

---

I believe that everyone has the potential to thrive with the right insight and guidance, and my goal is to help uncover strengths and provide specific, actionable steps you (or your child) can take to achieve your full potential.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in psychological and psychoeducational testing and evaluations for children, teenagers, and adults. My goal is to help you or your loved one better understand their unique strengths and challenges, providing a clear path toward personal, developmental, academic, and/or professional growth.

​

With a strong foundation in neurodiversity and learning differences, I am dedicated to making each client feel seen, heard, and understood. I am a neurodiversity-affirming psychologist and seek to empower individuals and families through comprehensive assessments.

I am dedicated to fostering understanding, acceptance, and support for neurodiverse individuals by providing tailored, evidence-based insights and recommendations. I am committed to creating inclusive environments where every person can thrive, leveraging their unique strengths and abilities. 

My approach is strengths-based and focused on uncovering the unique abilities of each individual, while also offering recommendations for addressing challenges in a supportive and affirming way. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, I strive to be a trusted partner in helping my clients achieve their full potential.

I’m not just here to administer psychological evaluations and provide reports—I’m here to connect with you. My passion lies in bringing together all the pieces of your story to create a clear picture that helps you understand yourself or your child more deeply.

My expertise in cognitive, academic, neuropsychological, emotional, social, and behavioral assessments ensures that each evaluation is thorough, accurate, and tailored to your needs. From diagnostic clarity to practical recommendations you can implement immediately, I am committed to empowering you with the information you need to make informed decisions and achieve success in life.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students and clients from diverse backgrounds, guiding them through the complexities of learning, psychological, and neurodevelopmental conditions. My specialized training in neurodiversity and learning differences has equipped me to conduct evaluations that lead to individualized educational plans (IEPs) and personalized academic and/or workplace accommodations, enabling students and employees to excel in their unique ways.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Miami, a Master of Science and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and an MBA from Strayer University. I also completed a post-graduate Certificate in Learning Differences and Neurodiversity from Landmark College.

I am passionate about understanding the complexities of human behavior. Assessments offer a more comprehensive way to uncover the underlying factors that impact a person’s functioning. Psychological evaluations provide a unique opportunity to pinpoint precise areas of difficulty or strength, guiding more targeted and effective interventions and ultimately helping people—whether children, adolescents, or adults—gain a clearer understanding of themselves and make informed decisions about the best path forward.

I specialize in testing and diagnosing the following issues:

• ADHD and Executive Functioning Deficits 
• Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Disorders
• Autism and Sensory Processing Deficits
• Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Other Academic or Learning Concerns
• Other Developmental, Behavioral, Social, and Emotional Concerns

Growing up, I was always fascinated by how people think, learn, and experience the world in different ways. This curiosity led me to pursue a career where I could make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s helping a child discover their learning superpowers or supporting a professional in navigating their cognitive strengths and challenges, I’m here to make that journey as smooth and empowering as possible.

Outside of work, I find joy in a variety of activities that keep me creative and grounded. I love spending time in the kitchen, cooking and baking new recipes that bring people together. Traveling is another passion of mine; I’m always eager to explore new places, experience different cultures, and find inspiration in the world around me. I also love being creative, working on art projects or crafts, as well as experiencing musical theater through live performances. 

 Living in South Florida, one of my favorite simple pleasures is taking evening walks with my family during the beautiful winter months. It’s a perfect way to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and reflect on the day. These moments of relaxation and connection fuel my energy for the work I do, allowing me to approach challenges with a fresh perspective.
