Biography

I received my undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, and doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology Specialization) from the University of Florida. I completed my clinical internship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and completed a two year post-doctoral fellowship in Pediatric Neuropsychology at the University of Florida. I am currently on staff at both Rhode Island Hospital and Bradley Hospital in affiliation with the neuropsychology program.
