Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, trauma exposure,
traumatic brain
injury, pain management, hypnosis and visualization techniques.
I believe that when a patient comes to see a therapist, they often ask these questions. "Will I feel safe, will I be heard without judgment and can this unknown person be trusted?" The therapeutic relationship is the most profound, protected, and valuable asset created between the psychologist and the patient. I am in awe of my patients courage and their ability to trust, so that the issues grappled with can be explored and understood, and that ultimately they can begin to heal and grow in ways that are both needed and desired.

My practice is psychoeducational assessment only. Please note that I do not provide therapy. My clients are typically families of students in preschool through college who have suspected exceptionalities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression,
TBI
, giftedness, etc. Client goals typically include improved functioning, clarity, diagnosis when appropriate, strategies, recommendations, and advocacy. What clients say is most helpful is having test data and my clinical judgment to provide clarity, then help them navigate what to do with that data and how to get the help their student needs.

Sometimes in life, our experiences cause pain and with this pain, we need healing. My approach as a therapist is to first reduce any distress that is showing up in the present in order to provide a more immediate sense of relief before walking alongside you to the places of pain in the past. Once we are able to step into past pain, we can work together to rewrite any false narratives and process through your individual experiences in order to create a fuller sense of lasting healing.

There is no easy way to start the therapeutic process other than to just dive in. I understand the difficulty in sharing your problems with someone you don't know which is why I create a safe environment and approach therapy in an authentic and non judgemental manner. You may be a woman or a person of color who is in the midst of a life transition or loss a loved one, dealing with relationship issues, and/or are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Or you're a couple seeking to build or rebuild your relationship foundation, or need help with improving communication and trust within the relationship.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed? Maybe you've been having thoughts of not being good enough or questioning your identity. You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work, and health. Trying to carry this weight can be emotionally and physically exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone. That’s where I come in.

I provide both neuropsychological assessment and specialized psychotherapy services for adult and geriatric clients. Individuals referred for neuropsychological assessment are typically evaluated for cognitive or thinking difficulties related to neurological conditions (dementia, head injury, multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, etc.), medical conditions (HIV, autoimmune disorders, cancer, pre/post surgical procedures), and psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety. My assessment practice is complimented by structured therapy including cognitive rehabilitation to compensate for cognitive weaknesses.

Living in stressful times can make it feel like mental health has to be on the back burner but I believe in prioritizing joy and rest to endure what seems impossible. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed practices, I work with clients to find their true selves and help strip away external stressors so they feel prepared to take on life. I enjoy helping solo clients and any type of partner arrangement in navigating difficult conversations and establishing boundaries. It is normal for the therapy process to feel a bit intimidating but my sessions are informal and individually tailored. Neurodiverse? You'll be right at home!

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.
