Meet Our Team

Naples Neuropsychology was founded out of a passion for providing comprehensive and personalized neuropsychological care to the community. Recognizing a need for specialized cognitive and psychological assessment services in the region, we established the clinic with a commitment to evidence-based practices and a patient-centered approach. Our vision was to create a supportive environment where individuals and families could receive expert guidance, accurate evaluations, and tailored recommendations to improve quality of life.
