About Me

 

I am a clinical neuropsychologist, certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). A neuropsychologist is a clinical psychologist who specializes in understanding how changes in a person's brain structure and function affect their thinking, feeling and behavior.  For 30 years, I worked as a clinician, researcher and teacher in the Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center before entering private practice. I have completed 6 years of core and advanced training in Intensive Short-term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) through the Center for Emotions and Health at the University of Dalhousie in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I moved to Vermont in October 2023. I am licensed in Vermont and New York.

 

I provide the following services to adolescents and adults (age 16 and older):

​

1) ISTDP for persons with anxiety, depression, conversion disorder, functional neurological disorder and other conditions where emotions are thought to be contributing to physical symptoms.

 

2) Clinical, disability and forensic neuropsychological evaluations for patients with a wide range of diagnoses, including epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, depression, anxiety, conversion and somatoform disorders.
