Virtual Assessments Available! You know life can be tough but everything seems harder for you. Relationships are like another language you don’t speak. You miss or don’t understand things that are obvious to others. It’s exhausting masking things others don’t find socially acceptable. Plus there’s the constant noise and stimulation. You eventually snap and shut down. You feel intense guilt and shame because you can’t do things that come so easily for others. You tell yourself something must be wrong with you but there’s a little voice that tells you there has to be a reason you struggle. If only you knew what that is!

I founded the Centers for Cognitive Wellness in 2012 with the mission of providing the "what's next" to people diagnosed with cognitive challenges. Trained as a clinical neuropsychologist, I quickly grew frustrated that patients had few treatment options after receiving a diagnosis of memory loss or attention impairment, I started this practice with the purpose of filling the treatment gap for people affected by cognitive declines. I have been blessed to grow the practice while also authoring The Neuroscience of Memory and speaking regularly to professionals and organizations.

I believe in the art of therapy and the power of the therapeutic alliance. I view therapy as a journey in which two people walk alongside one another in an attempt to better understand who the individual is and how they fit into the world around them.
