Your ThinkPrint, like your fingerprint, is unique to you.  It is how your mind works – where your thoughts go, how you perceive things, and how you behave. It is how your brain is wired up, and it reflects both what you were born with and what you have experienced. Understanding your mind – your strengths, preferences, tendencies and vulnerabilities – enables you to find your best path in life. It’s like having the manual to your particular brain.

 Neuropsychology is the field of science focused on “brain-behavior relationships,” that is, understanding how the structure and chemistry of the brain impacts our feelings, perceptions, and thoughts. As a clinical neuropsychologist, I am trained to identify and address problems with these higher level brain processes.  But while we tend to focus on our difficulties, in order to heal and to grow we must also identify our strengths, our ThinkPrint, our true nature, and direct our energy and attention toward nurturing it.

We all do best when we direct our energy toward what comes naturally to us, what we’re interested in and enjoy. We improve our learning by knowing how and what our brain was designed to learn. We improve our motivation and our concentration by doing what we find interesting and enjoyable to do. And we increase our chances for success by imagining it and believing in it. Hopefully we also become aware of, accept, and learn how to navigate our challenges –what does not come easily to us, what we are less aware of, and what we are more vulnerable to.
