I'm a licensed clinical neuropsychologist. My professional background is with people rehabilitating from illness or injury, and with those facing declining health (as themselves or their caregivers) due to brain disease. Such conditions can affect individuals, as well as couples and families. Common goals include assessing or improving thinking skills and emotional resilience, while adapting to unexpected changes in physical/mental abilities. I work with you to clarify values and develop new cognitive and emotional skills that allow you to be resilient to injury, illness, stress, and discomfort.
My approach is grounded in the science of cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive-behavioral therapies. I largely utilize acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, to approach emotional and psychological goals. I address goals for thinking skills (e.g., memory, attention) using an evidenced-based cognitive rehabilitation program called CogSMART.
There are a lot of ideas out there on how to make personal change happen. Depending on your desired change, one approach might be better than another. I look forward to hearing about your current condition and goals. I'm available for free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit for your desired change.
