From a young age I knew that I wanted to help people. My over 35 years as a clinical psychologist has allowed me to fulfill my lifelong dream. As a psychologist it has been my mission to help people overcome the emotional barriers that prevent them from reaching their potential. I have had the opportunity to do this in various settings; private practice, hospitals and treatment centers. My interest in the mind-body connection has helped me gain a better understanding of the complex interaction between the two and has contributed to the development of The Neurofeedback Institute. I was a cofounder in the mid 80’s of the Neuroscience Center which studied the biological causes of psychological disorders, I was instrumental in the developmental of the mood and anxiety disorder unit at the Retreat, psychiatric hospital and founded one of the first wellness centers that treated eating disorders; Changing Lifestyles. I am excited to have been instrumental in the development of The Alma Center to provide individuals with eating disorders, an innovative evidence-based treatment program. I have studied with Dr. Daniel Amen in the use of nutraceuticals in the treatment of psychology disorders, I was one of the first clinicians to introduce neurofeedback to the treatment of addictions. I am always available to answer any questions.

Throughout my 30 years of experience within the mental health field, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings with children, adolescents, adults and seniors. This experience, along with my Integrated Medicine Certification, have enabled me to develop a truly holistic treatment approach. The majority of my practice is dedicated to treating a variety of brain dysfunctions (such as attention deficit, autistic spectrum disorders, headaches, sleep dysregulation, panic attacks and tic disorders) and to helping my clients achieve their peak performance.
Based on the science of epigenetics, I have been able to combine psychotherapy, neurofeedback, nutraceuticals and lifestyle changes to help my clients achieve optimal treatment results. At the core of this approach is the mind-body connection. It is never too soon or too late in life to seek change and self-actualization. Ask yourself, if not now, then when?
