Personal Statement

I am fascinated by all life and especially by how the human mind functions. In keeping with my curiosity about life, I also enjoy dancing, gardening, reading, travel, the good company of friends, and the quiet pursuit of a rich quality of life.

My approach to the practice of neuropsychology and psychology is from the perspective of a collaborator working with clients who are interested in improving their quality of life by acquiring more information and insight in a supportive environment. Meeting this goal may take a variety of different paths, depending on the individual's needs within the context of family and community. I will continue to emphasize mindfulness-based practice in my approach to assessment and treatment.
