Hi! I hold a PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology, and I work to help my clients understand and capitalize on their assets while seeking to improve their weaknesses. I pride myself on meeting people where they are and offering support for their needs. I am proud of my training: I interned at the University of Missouri Health Services and completed a two-year fellowship at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I previously was a master's level behavior analyst working in developmental disabilities before returning to school for my PhD.
Our first session will be your opportunity to tell me everything I should know about you so that I can help guide your individualized treatment program. It's your opportunity to talk while the doctor listens!
My primary strength is listening. I have a lot of education and experience in my field, and I am very motivated to share it to help others, but my priority is to hear what you have to say. You are the expert on yourself.
I work with all ages and perform testing/assessment or psychotherapy with people who typically may have traumatic brain injury, neurodevelopmental difficulties (learning disorders, ADHD, autism), mild cognitive impairment or memory problems, stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders (Parkinson's), or functional neurological disorders.
I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), because it is consistently the treatment that works best. Often, I supplement CBT with other techniques. I am particularly experienced in CBT applications for insomnia and functional neurological disorders.
