I am a rehabilitation neuropsychologist with 15 years of experience working in a variety of clinical health settings. I perform neuropsychological evaluations and offer individual therapy to people above 18 years of age. Whether during an assessment or therapy, my intention is to create a meaningful partnership where you, as the client, feel heard and cared for in a non-judgmental and compassionate space. After a diligent initial assessment I share an achievable treatment plan to help you reach your goals/desired outcome for our collaborative work together.
Neuropsychological assessments are customized based on the questions that need to be answered and psychotherapeutic interventions are tailored to your goals, values, and stage of change. In addition to traditional cognitive behavioral and cognitive remediation interventions I employ acceptance and commitment, mindfulness, and compassion focused therapies.
The aims of which are to empower you with insight and skills to improve your functioning, be more self-confident and comfortable in managing anticipated and unanticipated stressors. My expertise, skills, commitment, in addition to the dedicated efforts of my clients have led to meaningful outcomes. It will be an honor to assist you on your path.
