I am a New York State licensed clinical psychologist with office in Smithtown, Forest Hills & Murray Hill. I specialize in the neuropsychological assessment of individuals with special needs. My clientele includes children, adolescents & adults with genetic disorders, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, autism, concussion and traumatic brain injury, sex chromosome differences, dementia and acquired brain disorders. I also work extensively with children who present with learning disorders, including dyslexia, problems with behavior and attention (e.g., ADHD and Conduct Disorder), and/or who require academic modifications for giftedness.

The evaluation process will uncover areas of cognitive, emotional and interpersonal strengths and weaknesses, clarify diagnoses and aid in developing a comprehensive treatment plan, including accommodations for school, work and high-stakes testing.

Testing requires 10 or so hours, usually over several sessions, depending on the patient's need.
