Services I Provide to Adults

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I provide detailed neuropsychological evaluations, individual and neurorehabilitative psychotherapy, and consultation services to adults. Patients are referred from a wide array of sources including family and geriatric medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, health and clinical psychology, as well as employment-based and medico-legal referral sources.

Neuropsychological Evaluations

Clinical evaluations consist of comprehensive assessment of cognitive, behavioral, psychosocial, emotional and personality issues related to neurodevelopmental and/or acquired brain illnesses.



Forensic Evaluations

Forensic evaluations and independent medical examinations (IME) are neuropsychological examinations conducted in legal cases or with individuals referred by employers, insurance companies or other parties to address specific diagnostic, clinical and functional questions.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy involves working with you, one-on-one, in a safe, private, caring and confidential setting to address issues, concerns, and challenges that interfere with your ability to achieve life goals and function to your potential.



Neurorehabilitative Psychotherapy

Neurorehabilitative psychotherapy applies the principles and foundation of traditional psychotherapy in the co-management of central nervous system injuries and co-morbid emotional, behavioural, cognitive and psychiatric issues. This highlights the diversity and complexity of neurological diseases with frequent occurrence of collateral psychological issues.
