I have worked with many patients over the years who have had multiple fears and anxieties that control their daily lives. Learning how to have mastery over fears so that the fears do not control us is an important part of therapy. Sometimes personal fears cause conflicts in relationships with significant others. Learning how to support and care for each other is especially important during the present global pandemic because our fears can be real and they affect us in different ways. I encourage grace and kindness when dealing with one another. Be slow to anger and pour kindness into misunderstandings.

When children experience challenges learning, paying attention, interacting socially, or struggling emotionally, parents often need support to better understand these challenges. Neuropsychological testing provides information about how a child is growing, identifying areas of strength and possible challenge so that parents are in a better position to support their child's development. I work collaboratively with parents to tailor an assessment to understand the nuances and unique context of each child's experience. From the assessment, recommendations are offered to develop a specific plan to address the child's particular needs.

Client types that this is useful for: highly responsible adults in their work that have high demands on them, people who have difficulty saying no to others, adult children of narcissists, adult children of alcoholics/dysfunction, first responders with vicarious trauma, trauma victims, PTSD, family members of suicide, TBI and family members of TBI.
One of the biggest hindrances to starting therapy is the thought of having to talk about the most painful part of our world.

The good news is there's lots of ways to do therapy that can bring comfort and relief right now without having to go into the trauma. There are new ways to start healing without having to dredge up old wounds and re-examine them needlessly. I also work in integrative therapy spaces utilizing plant medicine and ketamine. This has had AMAZING effects for my clients.

You are deserving of peace and happiness. Often times life has a way of throwing us challenges that feel overwhelming and unmanageable. These challenges can make us feel alone, stressed, and unsupported. These feelings tend to stay with us even when we are separated from the challenge itself and leak into other aspects of our life. This then prevents us from focusing on other important life events and the challenges we face may become all-consuming. This can feel as though you are not present and are missing out on the simple joy’s life can bring. You are not alone.

I would like to tell potential clients that my style is interactive, that I am a good listener, and that most people improve if they are committed to changing. I am particularly good at treating grief and trauma. Patients have come in with multiple losses, have seen their loved ones hurt, injured or murdered, or have themselves been raped, or assaulted and have turned their lives around. Many clients cannot get over a loss of a husband, wife, or lover and have been able to move forward. I value a partnership. I value an open heart and emotional expression.

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.
