I specialize in, but am not limited to, working with adults and teens who have lived through painful experiences that they find to be traumatic, generalized anxiety disorder, and individuals who have a Traumatic Brain Injury.
Everyone can benefit from some extra support every now and then, right? Well, as a therapist that goes to therapy, I know exactly how it feels to be in your shoes. Finding the right therapist can be exhausting, but once you do, it's so worth it. The process of therapy & the journey of self-discovery can help untangle confusing thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. I meet clients where they are to provide a safe, calm, and supportive environment for my clients to help them accomplish their goals.

We see patients with anxiety, depression, MTHFR, IBS, Hashimoto's and chronic fatigue. They are tired of taking medication or don't want to start. They have a host of physical issues, but nobody connects the dots for them. They are looking for a team of integrative health care professionals to evaluate them mentally and physically and to create a program of care that addresses the causes, not just the symptoms. We use cutting edge lab and advanced psychological testing to create a baseline for where you are right now. Armed with this information, we can create a treatment plan for you.

Areas of clinical interest include dementia, seizure disorders, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, and learning disorders.
As a clinical neuropsychologist, it is my goal to understand the relationship between the brain and cognitive/behavioral functioning. I work with patients with a variety of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders to help with diagnostic clarification based on the findings of a comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation incorporates information gathered from a clinical interview with the patient (and at times an accompanying family member), responses on emotional/behavioral questionnaires, and performance on standardized cognitive measures.

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.
