At Neuroworks, LLC, we are psychologists who have expertise in brain function/dysfunction -- the specialized “neuro” expertise to be known as a “Neuropsychologist.” When your car is broken you take it to a mechanic who runs tests, including a test drive, to find out what is wrong. Neuropsychologists occupy this role with brain function. We take “your brain” for a “test drive” to see how it is functioning and to develop recommendations to help you function in the “real” world, e.g., home, work, and community. Please reach out if you would like more information!

I work with adults, Veterans and adults who have acquired head injuries from their youth through early adulthood. There are many reasons that someone may be seeking a counselor. Whatever your reason, I will meet it with an open mind and open heart. I see the counseling relationship as one of mutual learning and growth. So long as you are motivated to learn and grow, I am willing to join you on your path to increased life satisfaction and mastery over the challenges that you are faced with. I don't think there is a single way to be in this world. I endeavor to help each client to find the way that makes the most sense to them.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore your unique life story. Together, we will cultivate awareness around your thought and behavioral patterns, and understand your emotions as they manifest in situations and relationships to promote understanding and clarity, and ultimately healing and wholeness. My approach is primarily Jungian inspired, depth and insight oriented and I also integrate CBT, mindfulness, and DBT. Together, within the space of a safe and compassionate relationship, we can explore your life journey with expansiveness as you move towards meaning and connection.

Our ideal client is overwhelmed and burnt out. They are grappling with emotional stress, possibly grief or vicarious trauma, moral injuries, and struggling to balance caregiving with self-care. Their goal is to improve their mental well-being, build resilience, and find fulfillment in their role. They seek emotional support, practical coping strategies, and a sense of community with others who understand their experiences. They're drawn to services that offer validation, self-care opportunities, and tools for managing stress.

My passion is meeting and working with you. I want to walk with you, understand your life and be a support when your life feels like a struggle.

In working with you, my goal is to create the environment in which you most readily evolve into a growth-enhancing experience. My approach is to work with you in your cultural and historical contexts respecting your individuality without trying to fit you into a theoretical orientation. Our goal in working together is to increase your awareness of your needs, behavior patterns, and responsiveness to yourself and the world around you in order to further fulfill your innate potentials.

I provide services to those looking to find support with emotional regulation, executive functioning, self-care strategies, mental shifts and transitions, self love, self inquiry, communication skills, social skills, motivation, and confidence.

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety/ptsd, depression, anger, health crises/fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and grief. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance. Ultimately, the goal is empowerment.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. My approach requires a commitment on both our parts to stick with the process, which often can be upsetting and hard, at least in the moment. Retraining our brains to better think, relate and feel takes time, it is a learning process. Facilitating such development for you is my expertise.

You feel invisible, worn down, ashamed. You feel like if you had just grown up in a different environment, you wouldn’t feel hurt, confused, or angry. You might feel like an outsider, wanting to be yourself but don’t know how to build confidence or connection with others while doing so. You might worry about scaring people or not getting what you need because you can’t do it yourself. You feel like if you just knew how to regulate yourself better, you wouldn’t drink or use. Those struggles are real and I want to work with you on building the life you want and deserve.
