I welcome the opportunity to demystify concerns with learning, behavior, or adaptation in children of all ages and in young adults who may have longstanding difficulties. I use a battery of standardized tests in addition to interview and observation to help understand what underlies struggles, and what to do about it. A child may have anxiety and learning difficulties: what should you focus on first? A teen or young adult may have had a concussion, and problems with mood or attention which predate injury. How do we go about planning interventions which will work?

Your brain is the command center for your emotions and your thoughts dictate your reality; this is why my approach focuses on positive psychology and the impactful use of gratitude and positive thinking habits. Due to neuroplascity, unwanted behavior and conditioned responses can be changed by retraining the brain through corrective thinking techniques, sensory input changes through somatic practice and the calming effects of mindfully being in the present moment, just to name a few.

With every heartbreak, you find yourself asking, What is wrong with me? When will you finally find the one? You watch your friends and family create their happy endings, and you quietly wonder when it will be your turn. You hope that next time will be different, yet with each passing day, a painful question begins to take root: Maybe there really is something wrong with me. So you try to figure it out. You read books, learn about red flags, love languages, nervous systems, and how to stop choosing emotionally unavailable partners yet somehow, you still find yourself back in the same place wondering why love is so difficult.

I believe that we all need to have a sense of purpose or meaningfulness in our lives, something that our thoughts, emotions and life experiences contribute to the "heart" of our personalities. The process of healing from the challenges of life begins with a search for truth about our beliefs, habits and relationships. Physical health is affected by our mental health through the complex interactions between the brain and bodily functions.

“Winter always turns to spring.” (Nichiren, 1275)
With a career rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique potential & mission, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals express what words often cannot. After 12 years of supporting students with autism, I transitioned into addiction counseling because I believe in the incredible power of human change. In my work at a Section 35 facility, I often meet people at their lowest points. I truly believe that winter always turns to spring—that even in moments of resistance or struggle, the potential for a new beginning is always there.

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.
