You might’ve considered therapy for a while, or are seeking a new therapist for a new life chapter. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax, or even buried underneath your life and are wondering how you ended up here. Maybe it started at a certain workplace, a school, a move, a relationship change, a loss, or when you developed a condition. Or maybe it started earlier in life. This may sound especially familiar to those who are: LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, have chronic conditions, disability, first-gen, working in/retiring from tech, entertainment, or finance.

New beginnings can often be disguised as painful endings. I work closely with those who have been through tragic events, suffered childhood abuse, those who have been victimized by others, as well as those who might feel like they have nowhere left to turn. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, and to courageously be free to display it and be proud. I am empathetic to my client’s needs, ambitious to provide support, and offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share and truly be heard.

Our work together may mean identifying a problem, finding steps to move forward, gaining awareness and understanding, managing a new situation, or any number of different things for different people. My experience includes work with patients and their family members and clinical research. My past work and training affiliations include: Stanford, UCSF Memory and Aging Center, Palo Alto and Menlo Park VA's, Kaiser Permanente, Kingsbrook Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the University of Colorado Hospital.

Hello! I have a deep love and appreciation for the field of psychotherapy and welcome you in considering me for services. I have worked with clients from all areas of life, all ages, with some very specific needs to some that need help figuring out what keeps them feeling stuck. While I am very fond of working with children, youth and families, I am dedicating my time now working with only adults. Life, in general, is likely more frustrating than manageable. Life is also proving to be more complicated than obvious or predictable.

If anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, or chronic illness is making it hard to feel grounded in your daily life, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to manage it by yourself. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, tense, or stuck on high alert, even when things look “fine” on the outside. Mental health difficulties can affect sleep, focus, relationships, and your sense of safety in the world, but therapy with me can be a place to slow things down and begin feeling steadier again.

I provide assessments for a wide variety of conditions including ADHD, personality testing, learning disorders, ASD, memory evaluation, TBI, Multiple Sclerosis and neurodevelopmental disorders.
I primarily see patients for testing including evaluation of mood,personality, cognition and behavior. Such an evaluation usually includes a formal interview, a review of medical and/or educational/vocational records, interviews of significant others (as necessary), and neuropsychological testing using standardized neuropsychological instruments. This type of testing offers many benefits: Often neuropsychological assessment will aid in the proper and accurate diagnosis of the patient’s illness and/or the etiology of their concerns. This helps a person better understand themselves and acquire tools for better coping in life.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.

What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.

How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.

What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
