About Me

Three decades of careful, comprehensive assessment.

In the past 30 years I have conducted over 7,500 assessments of children, teenagers, and adults with a variety of learning, developmental, health, social, emotional, and behavioural conditions. I am committed to best practice guidelines with regard to comprehensive and thorough evaluations followed by timely, clear, and detailed written reports. I treat all clients with dignity and respect, always emphasising positive approaches and strategies designed to enhance personal growth.

I relocated to the West of Ireland in 1995, with my Irish wife and three young sons. I am a doctorally trained psychologist and was a licensed psychologist in the United States. I specialise in assessments and interventions for children and adults, and I am the sole author of three books, with a fourth in preparation.
