Are you feeling overwhelmed? Worried? Not yourself? Tired? Putting on a facade? Criticizing yourself? Wondering how life got to be this way? Dealing with such challenges alone can be incapacitating.

As a neuropsychologist, I welcome clients seeking to find out how their thinking and memory abilities affect their capacity to live a full, meaningful life. I conduct empirically sound psychological and neuropsychological assessments, and provide feedback and recommendations to patients, families, physicians, and schools about how the brain's abilities (such as memory, attention, and other abilities) affect a person's life, and what can be done about it. Clients are encouraged to call with concerns regarding Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, and others, whether for themselves or for loved ones. I also provide CBT-I.

Some people have intense or overwhelming emotions, feeling stressed or just “stuck” in life. While we all try to do the best we can to problem solve and manage life stressors, sometimes what we’ve been doing is no longer working for us. I am skilled in helping clients untangle strong emotions and thoughts by balancing the “see-saw” of acceptance of what won't change in life while also empowering clients to use new skills to change. In doing so, we identify unhelpful behaviors that are no longer serving a purpose and work toward more healthy behaviors that are relevant to people’s goals to figure out the problems in their lives.

Seeking help isn't easy, and it takes a certain amount of courage. Just like being human. One of the things I've learned in 20+ years as a practicing psychologist is that we all have reserves of courage within us-even when we're feeling our worst. Having a compassionate and accepting person to talk to can help us find that courage and acceptance within ourselves. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, upset, or confused, or just think you might benefit from touching base with someone supportive and understanding, I would be happy to meet with you.
