I am a Geropsychologist which means I specialize with older adults. I provide forensic neuropsychological evaluations to assist with decision making capacity for the following domains: medical/financial consent, sexual consent, testamentary consent, driving, independent living. Evaluations/therapy also assist with diagnoses for dementia, depression, anxiety, and/or grief/loss. I work with family members/caregivers caring for those with dementia and perhaps behavioral challenges associated with the dementia. I currently work at the San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) for the Department of Geropsychiatry since 2007.
I completed residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan and returned to the SFVAMC to complete post-doctoral training in geriatrics. I am an adjunct faculty member at National University for the John F. Kennedy University Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology specializing in geropsychology.
