I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, teens, and young adults to assess attention, learning, executive-functioning, and social/emotional difficulties. I employ a highly specialized assessment protocol that leads to meaningful home- and school-based recommendations to help children reach their potential. My electronic reports provide online, interactive links to websites, videos, and learning tools that extend the usefulness of the testing. I specialize in working with children with symptoms of ADHD, Learning Disabilities, anxiety, and Autism Spectrum Disorder who struggle with executive-functioning skills and have difficulty completing homework or appear disorganized, distracted, or inflexible in problem solving.

Over twenty years as an ordained minister and equestrian I noticed how horses were helping me, so I developed Integrative Equine Therapy. In a non-clinical environment, a horse and IET Therapist create a safe space. We guide, encourage and support you in removing blocks, building new neural pathways from the trauma center to the conscious part of your brain, making it possible to respond rather than react to triggers. We call this "shifting perspective." With IET, you can find clarity of purpose, meaning and joy. Brown University's independent data on our therapeutic approach shows the success of IET. We work with all ages.

My workbook includes key concepts and practical strategies to help with motivation, organization, and meaningful planning. It also teaches efficiency along with follow through and self development.

After graduating from social work school 46 years ago, it has been my privilege to have partnered with and met all kinds of people from all walks of life presenting with a myriad of struggles. From my perspective, treatment is all about improving one's quality of life. Experience has shown me that with the appropriate amount of support and reality testing, most people are quite capable of addressing their challenges and feeling better about themselves. I prefer using a more traditional psychodynamic approach to treatment. Such an approach emphasizes providing a positive space for people to change.
