One size does not fit all. My work is based on a solid foundation of attachment/analytic theory (integrating neuroscience) with 23 years of experience. I specialize in helping individuals move beyond simply “managing symptoms,” survival mode or “powering through” stress, trauma, pain or grief. The weight of the world is heavy and I understand how hard it can be to survive the day.
Together we will gently bring to light the
“why” underneath feelings or patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We will work together to free you to leave “fight or flight” and move forward with joy. Connecting to a sense of safety is the first step.

Therapy is a collaborative effort between the person seeking assistance and the professional. Often times you know what you need, you simply need a sounding board and perhaps someone less emotionally invested in the situation to help clarify and encourage action and change. A fresh perspective may give way to new ideas, new coping skills and more tools to help manage every day life and stressors.

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.
