I am a licensed clinical psychologist, certified in neurofeedback therapy. Through my private practice in Moorestown, NJ, I provide neurobehavioral services and psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children, along with training and consultative services to other professionals.
I earned my Ph.D. from the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where I wrote my doctoral dissertation on the neurophysiology of sustained attention. This dissertation was based on years of graduate research in human brain electrophysiology.
My clinical training included a pre-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). This fellowship included training in neuropsychological assessment at the HUP Department of Neurology, in psychodiagnostic assessment at the HUP Outpatient Psychiatry Center, in cognitive-behavioral therapy at the Center for Cognitive Therapy, and insight-oriented therapy at the Institute of Pennsylvania Hospital. I served my pre-doctoral clinical internship at Friends Hosptal.
After earning my doctorate, I worked as a staff clinician and eventually as the Director of Neurobehavioral Services at a non-profit agency that served the needs of severely disturbed children, adolescents, and their families. My post-doctoral clinical training included supervision for certification in neurofeedback therapy and advanced training in quantitative EEG evaluation (qEEG) with one of the field’s foremost experts, Dr. Joel Lubar.
For 20 years prior to entering the field of neurobehavioral psychology, I rigorously studied and practiced Tibetan Buddhist psychology and meditation. In the early 1970s, I lived and worked at The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, India, home of the Dalai Lama. Subsequently, I studied and practiced in New Jersey with the retired Abbot of Sera-Me Monastic University, Geshe Lobsang Tharchin. During that period, I co-translated with him three seminal meditation manuals from the original Tibetan.
At present, I employ state-of-the-art neurofeedback and other biofeedback equipment together with psychophysiological coaching, informed by a variety of Western psychotherapeutic and Tibetan meditative techniques, to train my clients in the self-regulation of their autonomic and central nervous system. These self-regulatory skills allow trainees to effectively address issues of stress management, attention, mood, anxiety, reactivity, pain and the achievement of enhanced performance in a wide range of areas. |
