A Welcome from Our Founder
For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families as a neuropsychologist. I founded NESCA with one simple mission: to provide the same quality of care for your child that I would want for my own.
Families come to us when something isn’t working – academically, emotionally, behaviorally, or socially – and they’re often feeling worried, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. My role, and that of our entire team, is to be a trusted guide through that uncertainty. Staying true to this mission is what drives every decision we make at NESCA.
Choosing a neuropsychology practice is an important decision.
My promise to you is that at NESCA, your child will be seen, understood, and supported with the same care, rigor, and compassion that I would want for my own family.
We would be honored to partner with you.
