Dr. Dee lectured nationally and internationally, including Europe and Israel, in a variety of subjects including the brain, psychology, and spirituality. Highly educated yet forward thinking, Dr. Dee is going to challenge your thinking on the “hot potatoes” of psychology, and inspire you to make the changes that you wish in your life using mind over heart, passion over despair, and action over inertia!

People experience psychological issues throughout their lives, and every person has something “to work on.” Dr. Dee is going to introduce and discuss the various aspects that affect our sense of happiness, dignity, and self-worth, such as: dating, love and marriage, talents, aspirations, education, family, and existential concepts, but also the hardships we may encounter, such as social dysfunction, depression/anxiety, concussions, job searching, aging, bullying, autism, psychological difficulties, and much more.

Listen to a show that is positive, holistic, cutting-edge, “thinking out of the box,” embracing challenges and “pushing the limits,” thinking through things, and allowing room for questions and creativity to meet. Become an integral part of the forward motion towards mental, physical, and spiritual well being!


In addition to Neuropsychology, Dr. Dee is also educated in Economics, Accounting, School Teaching, Hypnosis, Therapy, Kabbalah, martial arts, Tai Chi, dance, and singing.

Dr. Dee has accomplished much in her life on her own, going through “the system” from scratch, as an immigrant first, and then as a proud American. Yet, she is very thankful to Divine supervision and her guardian angels.
