I have been working with kids and adults who struggle with social relationships, attention, anxiety, mood, learning, and behavior for more than 25 years. I provide traditional psychological services like assessment, individual psychotherapy, and family therapy. I also offer cutting edge treatment approaches backed by scientific research. Far too many people continue to struggle and suffer with psychological disorders despite multiple attempts to get help. So I closely follow the research on the most promising new approaches to treatment. We can sit down together and discuss your goals, and consider together what treatment approach is the right one for you. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults with autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's, and non verbal learning disorder. I offer a wide range of services for this group of clients including a summer camp, social groups, live, community-based social coaching, and biofeedback. Neuroscience has shown that the brain is changeable, especially with repetitive practice. This finding opens new avenues for treatment through brain training. I offer several treatment approaches designed to harness the brain's amazing capacity for change. These include neurofeedback, cogmed working memory training, and our preschool ADHD program.
