About Us

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialization in neuropsychology. Originally from New Jersey, my studies and training have taken me across the country. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from Middlebury College in Vermont and went on to earn my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortion in California. 

My predoctoral internship was at the VA Medical Center in Cincinnati where I specialized in neuropsychology with a focus on memory disorders, posttraumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries, and cognitive rehabilitation. I then did a postdoctoral neuropsychology fellowship at Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School, serving a diverse multilingual population from the greater Boston area. I gained extensive experience there evaluating adults with suspected ADHD, learning disorders, dementia, and other cognitive concerns. I am a former board member of the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society.

At PVPA, I specialize in assessing children and adults, from concerns about attention and learning abilities to concerns about mood, anxiety, or memory changes. I see these assessments as a way to better understand an individual in an empathic yet structured way. My goal is to provide clients with a greater self-understanding with an emphasis on realistic and achievable recommendations that address concerns while promoting emotional and cognitive well-being.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Massachusetts, with a masters and doctorate in clinical psychology from Boston University, and an undergraduate psychology degree from Harvard-Radcliffe Colleges. My internship and postdoctoral training were completed at Applewood Centers, Inc., a community mental health center in Cleveland, OH, serving children, adolescents, and families. I spent many years in private practice and working in both public and independent schools. My work in schools included being a teacher, class dean, and director of counseling. For over the last decade, I worked with adolescents and adults practicing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help them build lives worth living, and, in 2021 I transitioned to doing psychological, cognitive, and educational testing.

I grew up on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, and I have a particular interest in working with people who have felt marginalized or misunderstood. Some of my assessment interests include trauma, personality, learning issues, executive functioning, parenting, differential diagnoses, and complex presentations. I view assessment as an opportunity to provide insight, to support personal growth, and to lead to better treatment choices and outcomes. My collaborative approach is informed by the belief that assessment can serve as a source of validation as well as an important intervention. Although I also have experience with children, at PVPA I focus on assessing adolescents and adults as I am currently working exclusively over telehealth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialization in neuropsychology. Originally from North Central Connecticut, I earned a bachelor's degree from College of the Holy Cross in Worcester MA and my master's and doctoral degrees from Antioch University New England in Keene NH. During my doctoral training, I gained a wide variety of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of diagnoses. I completed my predoctoral internship at Frontier Health, a community mental health system in eastern Tennessee. After earning my doctoral degree, I did a neuropsychology fellowship with Dr. Joseph Moldover, a board-certified neuropsychologist in the Boston area. 

At PVPA, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents and adults whose current problems have a developmental focus. I strive to help people better understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, and to help people move past value judgments and instead embrace approaches that can lead to success - whatever that means to each person - in school, work, and life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, originally from New York City, who has lived in the Pioneer Valley since 2002. I have a bachelor's degree from Brown University, a master's from New York University, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Adelphi University. Prior to moving to Massachusetts, I worked in medical and psychiatric settings in New York City. I did my internship in neuropsychology and health psychology at the Rusk Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Medical Center. I then worked for two years as a clinical assessor in the neuroscience division at New York State Psychiatric Institute, where I was involved in clinical and research projects focusing on a variety of topics including parenting and discipline, mood disorders, and suicide prevention. After moving to Massachusetts, I worked for several years at a child and adolescent clinic in the Berkshires, and then at a family clinic in the Pioneer Valley. I opened my own solo practice in assessment in 2004 and converted it to its current form, this group practice, in 2016. 

At PVPA, I specialize in assessing children and adults up to age 55. I see a wide variety of issues and greatly enjoy the opportunity to try to get to the bottom of an issue and help people get unstuck. For many years I was the neuropsychology team supervisor at UMass-Amherst's Psychological Services Center, training doctoral candidates in assessment at the university's low-fee clinic. In 2018 I stopped supervising at UMass in order to focus exclusively on my group practice. 

I served as the Western Massachusetts representative on the board of the Massachusetts Psychological Association for several years and am now a fellow. I also served on the board of the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society for several years. I help to moderate a large international online group for assessment psychologists of all kinds, which helps me keep current with many issues in the field. I have been active in behavioral health advocacy work for many years and have received recognition from the American Psychological Association and the Massachusetts Psychological Association for these efforts on behalf of clients.

Raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Education at the University of Cincinnati.  Through several years of working on the Property and Casualty side of the insurance industry as well as in Life and Annuities, I have gained a passion for assisting the needs of clients from all walks of life 

As the Practice Coordinator at PVPA, I am the first point of contact for clients and their families. I strive to ensure that all inquiries are responded to in a timely, friendly manner as well as providing administrative support to our psychology team.
