Specialty Areas

Neuropsychology

As a scientist-practitioner I have worked as a neuropsychologist, psychotherapist, and administrator in a variety of clinical settings, working with a broad array of clinical populations, including particularly individuals with traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, addictions, and learning disabilities. My current research focuses on dopamine-related behaviors, including the role that sleep, arousal, attention, and mental effort play in regulating cognitive functions, not only in healthy young adults but also especially in people with ADHD, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and healthy elderly individuals. I am also exploring new technologies to provide cognitive stimulation and reduce social isolation in the elderly.
