A UCLA-trained psychologist and certified coach, I help clients from all walks of life find direction, meaning, and wellness. For more information about my education, training, and professional experience, please visit my LinkedIn profile.

I’m a nationally recognized expert in ADHD and learning disabilities and have assessed hundreds of clients with these conditions. I have over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist, learning disabilities psychologist, and administrator of a university disability resource center. I am the author of the Kane Learning Difficulties Assessment for adults and college students – an assessment used across the US and Canada. As a professor, my research on ADHD, LD, and psychological disorders has been published in some of the world’s leading academic journals including the Journal of Learning Disabilities, The ADHD Report, The Journal of Post-Secondary Education and Disability, and the Journal of Counseling and Development, among others.

I provide coaching and psychotherapy for individuals with a wide variety of needs and from a wide variety of professional settings: college students, mid-life career changers, cancer survivors/thrivers, executives, new through seasoned higher education professionals, academics (including those seeking to exit higher ed), and individuals seeking to transition into a fulfilling retirement and a new life.

I am an award-winning full professor emeritus of counseling with extensive teaching, counseling, research, consulting, and leadership experience in a wide variety of higher education settings. I am also an entrepreneur, photographer, and writer. Finally, I am very interested in the intersection of wellness, college and workplace success, and life/career planning in a chaotic and unpredictable world.
