I am a Licensed Chemical Dependency Professional and Addiction Counselor in Rhode Island. Prior to obtaining my license to counsel, I have worked for 17 years as the Director of an inner-city childcare center. I am a full-time substance abuse counselor by day and work private practice as a part time endeavor. I am committed to helping individuals learn how to change what they can and manage what they can’t. The hardest thing for an individual to do is to know themselves and to change themselves. My calm and non-judgmental approach provides a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and positive change.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I specialize in evaluating complex cognitive and behavioral problems that often pose a dilemma for individuals, parents, teachers, and treating professionals. I believe that a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation should provide an in-depth understanding of the entire person, including their cognitive style, emotional style, and strengths as well as weaknesses. The immediate goal is to arrive at an accurate diagnosis that will guide treatment, but the ultimate purpose is to promote deeper self-understanding and to enable each person to achieve his or her true potential.
