My own experience surviving a brain injury shaped my passion for supporting people healing from trauma or life after a medical event.
I welcome clients from all walks of life, believing therapy works best when it is authentic and grounded in genuine connection. My mantra: “Be real, be you”. I believe reality is shaped by our perception, and that our experiences—painful and joyful—are life’s greatest teachers. This guides my work in collaborating with clients to uncover strength, build understanding, and cultivate belonging. Healing may take time, but together we explore autonomy, creativity, and meaningful goals in love, connection, and purposeful work.

Hi, I’m Imara! After nearly a decade in the ABA world, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply people can struggle when they feel misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or disconnected from who they are. I view therapy as a collaborative process focused on self-understanding, growth, and creating a life that feels sustainable and authentic. I founded Self & Skill because I believe therapy should make space for the whole person while helping clients build practical skills, confidence, and support that actually fits their lives.

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.
