I am a psychologist licensed in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I provide counseling and psychotherapy, neurofeedback training, and psychological testing to children and adults, and consultation. I work with children from infancy through adolescence, and with adults. I will first do a comprehensive clinical assessment so I can get to know you better and understand what your needs are. Then I will discuss with you the possible ways that I or my colleagues might be able to help you. I might recommend individual, family or couples counseling, parenting meetings, psychological testing, neurofeedback training, or consultation to your or your child's school, physician, health care provider or mental health provider. I will explain to you the reasons for my recommendations and give you plenty of opportunity to ask me questions and discuss the options.

I have over 36 years of experience in providing mental health services. I graduated from Vassar College and earned my Ph.D. from Temple University. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Judge Baker Guidance Center as a Clinical Fellow in Psychology at Harvard Medical School, where I later served on the clinical faculty as a Clinical Instructor in Psychology. I have also taught at Temple University, and I served on the faculty of EEG Spectrum International, one of the major training programs in the world for neurofeedback. I enjoy collaborating with other professionals, and have supervised and consulted to many other clinicians working with children and adults, providing psychotherapy, neurofeedback training and psychological testing. I also enjoy writing, and I have published many articles on family therapy, parenting, child development and neurofeedback, and I have published two books written for parents of children with ADHD.

I am trained in a variety of approaches to psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, behavior modification, biological and family systems methods. My practice includes working with children and adults with emotional and behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Asperger's Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorders, learning disabilities, Tourette's Disorder, family dysfunction, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and medical issues.
