Psychologist (Maryland license #3240)                     
Pediatric Neuropsychologist

In 1992 I earned a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Neuropsychology from Widener University's Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology (after having completed a pre-doctoral Internship at Magee Rehabilitaiton Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). From 1992 to 1994 I subsequently served as a Pediatric Neuropsychology Post Doctoral Fellow in affiliation with Columbus Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio under the supervision of Keith Owen Yeates, Ph.D., ABPP-Cn. During that time I also held a Clinical Instructorship through the Ohio State University College of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics.

The majority of my practice time is committed to the provision of comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children, adolescents, and young adults designed to clarify their cognitive, pre-academic/academic, and social-emotional functioning. The evaluations are completed by me and include: 1) an initial parent interview on the first day of the evaluation; 2) test administration, scoring, and interpretation; 3) an interpretive conference; and 4) preparation of the written report. The results are subsequently useful in determining such things as: 1) appropriate educational placement and programming; 2) the need for tutorial support and/or adjunctive services [i.e., speech/language therapy; occupational therapy]; 3) behavior management and/or psychotherapeutic techniques; 4) avenues for self-help; and 5) advisability of medical intervention.
