NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL AND ELDER EVALUATIONS

ELDER / DEMENTIA EVALUATION: A focused evaluation for older adults experiencing memory or behavioral changes. This assessment helps clarify whether changes reflect typical aging, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia and guides next steps.

Why you might seek a neuropsychological evaluation

  • You are wondering whether forgetfulness or changes in focus are part of normal aging or worth a closer look

  • You have a medical or neurological condition and want to understand how it may be affecting your thinking

  • You’ve noticed changes in language, day to day tasks, orientation, or decision making in yourself or a loved one

  • You are caring for an aging parent or partner and want a clearer picture of strengths, vulnerabilities, and safety

  • You are a physician, neurologist, psychiatrist, or other specialist who is noticing subtle changes in a patient and seeking additional insight

Our process is collaborative and compassionate. You’ll share your experiences and questions, and I’ll bring a comprehensive lens to cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning—always grounded in your unique story.
