No matter where you go your mental health will always follow. You can live a better life than what you have been living. It can be difficult taking the first step to start the process of taking control of your mental health journey. Therapy can be scary and finding a therapist who you feel you can trust and feel comfortable with is even harder. You deserve to find a space where you feel seen and heard. Your feelings, emotions, desires, struggles, needs, and experiences matter.

Welcome to the Galleria! Initiating a therapy session can produce all types of feelings and thoughts. However, it just may serve as an enjoyable and cathartic experience. Maybe you’re in a transitional period of your life; getting married, getting divorced, going through the loss of a parent or the gain of step-children. Perhaps, you are dealing with life stressors that have now affected your functioning, relationships and mood. Or maybe, an early childhood traumatic event has resurfaced and is triggering upsetting memories for you. Whatever it is, I am here……to listen. To help you, the client, turn Pieces into MasterPieces!

Our ideal client has suffered a traumatic brain injury and has ongoing cognitive and adjustment issues related to their injury. This person is typically in the chronic stage of recovery but is still experiencing postconcussive symptoms including memory loss and attentional problems, depression and anxiety related to their injury. They are in need of cognitive rehabilitation and psychotherapy to help with adjustment to their injury. They often want to have their symptoms and concerns validated, which is where the neuropsychological evaluation is extremely helpful.
