Are you having difficulty managing a new life altering diagnosis of a complex medical condition for yourself or loved one? Understanding diagnoses and managing medical care is overwhelming and I am here to help you navigate your medical journey. I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families to adjust to understand and cope with complex medical conditions (autoimmune conditions, diabetes, cardiac disease, and other complex medical conditions) and acquired brain injuries (brain tumors, epilepsy, strokes, TBI and acquired brain injury). I provide individual therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, parenting, anxiety management and stress reduction therapies. I help patients and their families understand the neurobiological factors affecting functioning, and identify neurocognitive strengths to maximize outcomes. I also help patients with Back-to-School/college and work transitions following prolonged absences. I work closely with each patient and patient-family to best understand your needs and concerns as we navigate your medical journey. I work with adults who are having difficulty managing their anxiety and working through difficult transitions in life including grief, loss, and changes (both positive and negative) that affect functioning.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a primary modality that I use in working with patients. Many of my patients/clients often need help to identify and reframe their negative thinking, especially in stressful situations that challenge their ability to cope. CBT helps clients learn useful strategies to manage stress and negative thinking that contribute to anxietyy, depression and trouble coping.
Mind-body approach
I have used the mind-body approach in both inpatient and outpatient settings to manage pain, anxiety , emotional distress and physical symptoms. The interactions between the brain, mind, body, and behaviors (including emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors) can affect health and wellness and is often the key to decreasing both physical and psychological symptoms
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
All of my session and interactions with patients/clients involve some component of mindfulness based therapy (meditation, relaxation and awareness exercises) to help focus on the present moment and reduce the impact of stressors in their everyday interactions.
Motivational Interviewing
Often, patients/clients who have a treatment goal have difficulty working towards that goal. I use motivational interviewing to help my patients/clients understand their resistance and barriers that are preventing them from making that change.
On average, Anthem clients pay $0-$30
