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.

Issues such as trauma, complex trauma, adverse childhood experiences, mental and/or physical abuse, substance misuse, addictions, suicidal ideations or attempts, moral injury, stress, traumatic brain injury/concussion, and anxiety are common.

Having experienced Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and growing through it into Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), I've learned that PTS is not a lifetime sentence and recovery is possible. EMDR is offered to help guide you through traumas and negative self-beliefs.

You’ve done what it takes to survive. Maybe you learned to stay small, stay quiet, or work twice as hard just to feel okay. Maybe it was a parent who withheld affection or pushed perfection—or a boundary that was crossed and never acknowledged. Now you find yourself overthinking everything, shutting down in relationships, or feeling emotions that don’t match the moment. You’re tired of feeling stuck, and deep down, you know this isn’t just stress—it’s something old. If you’ve been carrying it for too long, I help people finally put it down.

As a Counselor, I will work hard to help clients gain insight into both past and present experiences in order to empower themselves to make informed choices that lead to meaningful change.

I believe we all have the potential to grow through challenges. Rather than living in distress, we can find ways to ease through the difficulties of life. Through my work with cancer patients, I developed a therapeutic framework based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients with various issues move from distress toward peace. In addition, I understand that one size does not fit all, so I use an integrative approach that draws from several disciplines.

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.
