As a neuropsychologist, I conduct diagnostic evaluations for adolescents and adults. I use a series of tests to uncover underlying cognitive/thought patterns and emotions that may be contributing to difficulties in daily functioning. I am especially passionate about working with young adults who have been struggling for a while but have not yet identified a source of their concerns. My goals are to assist in the diagnosis of any underlying conditions, and to provide coping and management strategies to help set you up for success.
Prior to establishing my practice, I was an Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology and a practicing clinician at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). I mentored masters/doctoral level students in the Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Division, I ran several neuropsychology clinics, and I was the lead neuropsychologist for the DBS program.
I am now physically based in California, but I maintain my involvement with VUMC as an Adjunct Professor of Clinical Neurology. I specialize in telemedicine / remote assessment and I provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for residents of California in my private practice. I do not provide psychotherapy services.
