Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

I attend practicum training and have clinical experience working with adults diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injuries at Bancroft, an Outpatient Rehabilitation facility in New Jersey.

I have worked with individuals and families recovering from traumatic brain injury for over 20 years. I offer online psychology services designed to connect your recovery plan to your home environment and help you heal, grow and re-engage with your life. I am happy to work with you individually, but also work with a team of allied health professionals to help with complex neurological and orthopedic injuries with a full suite of outpatient telerehabilitation services.

Brain injury can turn every aspect of your life upside down. It can be immensely isolating and it is profoundly misunderstood by family, friends, the public, and even many medical professionals. It's been my sacred privilege to walk beside survivors of traumatic brain injury for the past 10 years in the medical field, and now as a counselor. You don't have to do this alone. I invite you to talk with someone who understands brain injury.

With experience in assessing traumatic brain injuries (TBI), I provide comprehensive evaluations that help diagnose and understand the impact of brain trauma. My approach combines thorough neuropsychological testing and clinical expertise to offer a detailed understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes resulting from TBI. This allows me to deliver accurate diagnoses and tailored recommendations to support rehabilitation and improve quality of life for my clients.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can show up in a variety of different ways, and can often be accompanied by changes in mood, self-concept, and social functioning even years after the injury occurs. I take a strengths-based feminist approach to understanding how disability and neurodivergence as a result of TBI might be showing up in your life. I believe that co-creating clear, practical skills, and integration of identity changes can be deeply healing in the therapy space.

Traumatic Brain Injury Counseling is therapy after a brain injury. TBI’s may come from having a stroke, concussion, car accident, etc. I want to help you who may be the family member, spouse or you may be the person that has experienced TBI, spinal cord injury, other bodily injuries, or a chronic illness by providing you positive coping strategies to help you emotionally get through these times. I also want to give you practical tools you can use to make life easier & more enjoyabale again.

CETRI (Chicago Electrical Trauma Rehabilitation Institute) works to improve the treatment of electrical injury through research and multidisciplinary collaboration. Our scientists and clinicians have years of experience evaluating and treating electrical injuries. Through multidisciplinary research, clinical care, and educational outreach, our team works to develop diagnostic tools and methods for more effective therapies for electrical injury survivors.

I am a certified brain injury specialist and can help you with a number of techniques to heal and hopefully regain what you lost.

I have worked with clients who have mild concussions, and those who have severe brain injuries. I help people adjust to the changes the TBI has caused, as well as help maximize cognitive abilities. I also work with the family to help them deal with the grief of experiencing their loved ones' loss, and learning to deal with rehabilitation and changes in that loved one.

There can be many causes of Traumatic Brain Injury, and can result in long lasting effects. I provide accommodations in therapy personalized to the individual to reduce the stress and physical symptoms someone might be experiencing as a result of a TBI. I participate in the Ohio Brain Injury Advisory Committee, collaborate with the Ohio Domestic Violence Network's TBI initiatives, and provide education on TBIs and accommodations in professional settings.

I work with people who have some type of event happen and they are now not feeling the same. We almost recalibrate the brain to where it feels better to function.

Navigating the world after acquiring a brain injury is no easy process. Everything about the way that you feel to the new life-style accommodations can flip your world upside down. I help my client's process their new challenges, and act as a teammate to create a new plan for success while adapting to their new needs.
