I'm a psychologist, author, educator, and blogger with a special interest in attention and neuroscience, My newest book is Parenting in the Age of Attention Snatchers (2015). Before that, I wrote Find Your Focus Zone (2007). My first book, Dreamers, Discoverers and Dynamos, was published in 1997 as a hardcover titled The Edison Trait. I'm grateful to my readers for supporting my work through the years.
As a child, I constantly had my nose in a book. After graduating from Fordham, I taught school in NYC, then moved West to Arizona State University for my PhD. I completed my internship in psychology at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, joined the clinical faculty at the University of Arizona, and served as principal investigator for a federal research grant in Tucson, AZ. In 1986, I moved to San Diego, CA.
I've had a clinical practice for 35 years. Currently, I counsel parents and families in Encinitas, CA, teach professional development, give talks and workshops, and blog at
