As a clinical neuropsychologist, it is my goal to understand the relationship between the brain and cognitive/behavioral functioning. I work with patients with a variety of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders to help with diagnostic clarification based on the findings of a comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation incorporates information gathered from a clinical interview with the patient (and at times an accompanying family member), responses on emotional/behavioral questionnaires, and performance on standardized cognitive measures.

When conducting neuropsychological testing, my mission is to provide a warm and caring environment and to see the complete person so that you leave feeling like you have been heard.

Psychological/neuropsychological evaluations include assessment of all brain functioning, academic performance, language, and social/emotional development. My aim is to help determine how you or your child are functioning now and how to best help you move forward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with training and expertise in treating a wide range of conditions.

As a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, in clinical practice for 35+ years, I deal with issues of depression, anxiety, relationship and social life problems, aging, creative blocks, marital conflicts, parenting, divorce, child and school problems, loss, adoption, spousal and/or family member's dementia , etc... My practice includes adults of all ages -- from the young to the elderly.

We provide counseling and auxiliary services to seniors, the disabled, caregivers, and their families. ISS is committed to helping our clients develop the coping skills necessary to function at one's maximum ability by providing in-home counseling services. Through therapy, our counselors help clients find renewed enjoyment in life and increased emotional well-being. Counseling may also ameliorate the behavioral problems that come with chronic ailments, such as Alzheimer's disease. By addressing the mental health needs of seniors, the disabled, and caregivers, counseling can help lessen the frequency of hospitalization and enhance one's social life.

Many conditions can affect our cognition, interfering with skills such as learning, memory, attention, problem solving, planning, or processing information. Neuropsychology is focused on understanding how brain health impacts cognition and behavior and using that information to make or clarify a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and/or monitor cognitive abilities over time.

My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use.

The families I work with are dealing with caring for an aging or disabled relative. Often the issue is that their loved one can no longer function independently due to physical weakness or cognitive problems due to dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. The precipitating factor is often a hospitalization and rehabilitation in a facility. The family is at a loss as to how much care will be needed upon discharge, what will Medicare pay for, and where will the home care workers come from. I also work with individuals with early Alzheimer's Disease, who need different kinds of services, which is also very stressful for the family.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and feel ready to learn how to strengthen your coping skills to better yourself? Using a strength-based approach, in treatment, my clinical specialties include treating adult and older adult clients with anxiety, depression, acute and chronic pain, trauma, grief and loss, anger and stress management, relationship stress, and caregiver distress (including caregivers of loved ones with TBI, dementia ). Additionally, I am passionate about exploring and treating unique stressors associated with late-life to promote positive aging.
