I am a Harvard trained neuropsychologist with extensive experience providing individualized and compassionate evaluation and follow-up services. The idea of testing may feel daunting, new and unclear to many. Children, families and individuals often do not know what to expect or what gains might be achieved through these services. My goal is to help people feel comfortable enough to make use of these services, which can provide great insight, understanding and improvement in individual and family functioning and happiness.
