ThinkPrint is a word I made up to describe what I do: help people understand what kind of mind they have.  Your ThinkPrint, like your fingerprint, is unique to you, the result of how your brain is wired up.   Understanding your mind – your strengths, preferences, tendencies and vulnerabilities – enables you to use it more effectively. 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, our wellbeing depends on identifying and understanding our strengths. 

It is most valuable to discover, and 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 increase our chances for success by imagining it and believing in it.
