I specialize in assessing and treating developmental disabilities such as autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, childhood depression, anxiety, and thought disorders.
I specialize in conducting neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents, ages 6 to 22. I am currently only taking clients for evaluations. The evaluations I conduct are invaluable to parents who are trying to understand their child's learning style and their learning strengths and weaknesses. Often, parents seek my help when they are concerned about their child's ability to achieve his/her potential in school and/or regulate his/her behaviors or emotions. My reports have been crucial tools for many parents in securing academic accommodations for their children both in the state of Massachusetts and elsewhere.

I work extensively with children exhibiting symptoms of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (PDD, Asperger's), Learning Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders and Mood Disorders.
Children may exhibit difficulties that interfere with their social, academic or emotional functioning for many different reasons. I work with kids ages 6 and older to help identify the source(s) of these challenges. Using a comprehensive neuropsychological/psychological assessment, I evaluate children to identify individual strengths and areas of challenge, provide differential diagnoses, and offer treatment planning recommendations. Such an assessment provides parents with a better understanding of their child's unique cognitive and social/emotional functioning, as well as specific approaches geared towards a chid's success at home and school.
