Many people come to me because they feel "stuck" despite having been in therapy that is primarily talking with the therapist . Change is hard but not impossible. I have helped people in my 35+years of clinical practice to alter their lives and feel "lighter " and transformed. I have been trained in the newer cutting edge therapies i.e. EMDR, IFS, sensorimotor psychotherapy, coherence therapy and AEDP that guide people to permanently replace the old seemingly intransigent painful unconscious emotional learnings which underlie ones feelings, beliefs and actions with new adaptive information. The establishment of a trusting relationship that provides safety in in sharing whatever one is experiencing is my top priority. There is "no shaming or blaming" I encourage compassion, curiosity, and humor. To reclaim your authenticity, aliveness and vitality, contact me.

I provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessment to children, adolescents, and adults who present with an array of with learning, attention, and behavior/psychiatric/medical difficulties. I also participate in educational advocacy within the school system as well as with legal advocates to help parents to navigate the labyrinth of the special education system, helping them attain the appropriate school placement, accommodations, and intervention services critical to the child's success. I thoroughly understand the nuances of the neuropsychological evaluation process and the neurocognitive underpinnings that support learning, development, behavior, and social-emotional functioning.

I am expert at working with and through extreme emotional states: panic, rage and grief. A good therapy can put some ballast in your boat so that when storms come, you can still navigate.
