You don’t feel like yourself these days. You find yourself overanalyzing every situation until you’ve thought of every scenario. You may feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. Maybe you say yes to things you don’t actually want to do, because that people pleaser inside of you can’t say no. Maybe you prevent yourself from finding happiness because you feel you don’t deserve it. You’re tired of feeling numb or empty. You want to feel like yourself again, but the thought of starting this process seems daunting. Afterall, you’re “fine”….or at least that’s what you tell yourself. Maybe it seems like things will never change.

Adversities can rob you of peace and affect your ability to stay on life’s course. The distress experienced in today’s world can be associated with toxic stress, cycles of trauma, depression, grief, fear or experiences of racial and social injustices. The way you respond to life’s difficulties matters. True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to explore and face frightening or limiting beliefs that may live beneath emotions causing discomfort and pain.

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, autism, and others, whether for themselves or for loved ones.

Are you troubled by negative or distressing thoughts & memories from the past or present? Have you experienced a trauma? Perhaps you find yourself "overreacting" to minor or non-incidents. Do others say you're "too sensitive"? Maybe you have lost someone or something and you're finding it difficult to move forward. You are in a battle to reclaim you're stability, freedom, joy, self-confidence, self-worth, self-control, or even a part of yourself. Somehow you have lost your way & you would give just about anything to get back to how life used to be. Or maybe you desire something even better than before. . . .

When working with clients, I strive to make the therapeutic experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that through talking and building a good connection, we can develop your therapeutic goals, and create a successful and obtainable plan. My work is focused around the ages 20-65, when personal goal, and family dynamics are constantly shifting and new roles are developing. This can feel very overwhelming, scary, and sometimes hopeless. You do not have to do this alone! We will work together around the topics of parenting, anxiety/depression, trauma/abuse, school/college, grief/life changes, or areas of interest.

You are emotionally and mentally exhausted; and ready to throw in the towel. You and your spouse rarely talk to each other these days. And when you do talk, it is nothing more than shrugs, one-word answers, spiteful words, and bored eye rolls. Mortgages, finances, kids, college expenses, retirement - all these subjects cause friction and have created walls between the two of you that feel insurmountable. To the outside world you appear as a "put together" family; but inside the walls are crumbling and you feel a shadow of your former selves.
