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.
