I am an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, a licensed clinical psychologist, and a neuropsychologist in Austin, TX. I have over 18 years of clinical and research experience, including 4 years as a fellow at the Department of Psychiatry's Center for OCD and Related Disorders (CORD) at Harvard Medical School and Mass General Hospital, where I remain affiliated. I also taught at Harvard University and Harvard University Extension School. I am also the Director of the Neuropsychology and Psychopathology Lab at the Department of Psychology at Texas State University, where my team and I actively engage in research.

​

I have broad experience in the treatment and neuropsychological assessments in a variety of populations ages 15-90, with specific expertise in the treatment of OCD, ADHD, parent training, and couples therapy. In addition, I have extensive experience in clinical and neuropsychological assessments for ADHD (ADHD testing), dementia, mild cognitive impairment, as well as complex psychiatric/neurological cases involving clinical and neurocognitive aspects.

​

• I have devoted my career to the study of the interaction between neuropsychology and mental health symptoms and disorders. That is, I have been studying how psychological disorders (particularly ADHD, OCD, and anxiety disorders), and symptoms interact with cognitive function (such as attention, memory, or executive function). For example, my work has demonstrated the cognitive ‘price’ of intrusive and obsessive thoughts.

• I am an internationally recognized authority on the diagnosis of co-occurrence and differential diagnosis of ADHD and OCD (or anxiety) and have published extensively on the issue, including international clinical guidelines to address this issue.

• I co-founded Focus, the largest adult ADHD center in Israel, where I served as Chief Neuropsychologist and Director of Psychological Services.  

• I have published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific papers and book chapters and regularly present my findings at professional conferences and invited talks in the US and Europe.
