After 25 years in practice, my work still enlivens me, and I am deeply committed to my patients. First and foremost, I am a humanist-I see life as a process of growth and development. I believe strongly in the resilience of the human spirit and our capacity to create a true sense of well-being. I am board certified in clinical neuropsychology, the specialty that focuses on brain-mind relationships.
I am fascinated by the brain and what we are learning about the complexity and wonder of the human experience. We work to help people create a sense of well-being that remains steady despite the frustrating and unexpected challenges of life. Often, negative habits of thought and automatic reaction interfere with achieving happiness.

A child's behavior problems can be very worrisome and frustrating to parents. Counseling can help kids feel better about themselves, teach them skills to get along better with others, help them develop mature self-control, and improve ability to solve problems.
Counseling can also help parents learn to understand their child's feelings and behavior, deal more effectively with negative behavior without over-reacting, and help kids manage stress and frustration better.Counseling may include the individual child or the whole family, but parents are always centrally involved so they can learn practical skills that help their children succeed.

What to expect when starting couples counseling? I believe that a committed relationship is a path to wholeness and provides a vehicle to grow, individually, and as a couple. This means that instead of blaming your partner, you look at your role in the problem and take responsibility for what is your part.
This clinical tool consists of 480 questions about friendship, intimacy, how well you know your partner, how you manage emotions and conflict, how you share your values and goals, and what gives meaning to your lives. There are additional questions about parenting, housework, finances, trust, and individual areas of concern.
