Are you looking for answers for yourself, your child, or your aging loved one? Do you have questions about your diagnosis, thinking, memory, attention, or emotions? Perhaps these issues are making it hard to succeed at school, work, in the household, or in making treatment-progress. I am a Board-Certified Neuropsychologist who looks at the “whole person” in their cognition and emotions. I use a therapeutic and evidence-based assessment approach for ADHD, learning disorders, giftedness and autism spectrum disorders; changes in the brain caused by concussions, epilepsy, stroke or dementia; and emotional issues.

I am a psychoanalyst and look forward to treating people who enjoy understanding their feelings and behaviors on a deeper level. I work with people for as long as desired and work with a wide range of problems in treating adolescents and adults.
The Chinese word for crisis carries two elements, danger and opportunity. I truly believe that with crisis comes opportunity. I live my life by this and help people to do the same.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
