Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

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.

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 help clients address Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by fostering a safe, supportive environment. My approach combines compassion, curiosity, and trauma-focused techniques to promote healing and recovery. I focus on managing symptoms, finding adaptive strategies, and improving quality of life. If you're seeking support for TBI, I encourage you to reach out and connect with me.

Prolonged Exposure (EMDR, and TF-CBT) is a form of behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. It is characterized by two main treatment procedures – imaginal and in vivo exposures. Imaginal exposure is repeated ‘on-purpose’ retelling of the trauma memory.

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.

I have many years of experience evaluating and counseling traumatic brain injury patients in both an inpatient rehabilitation hospital and in an outpatient day neuro program.

I help clients better understand and manage their TBI.

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.

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.

I work with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors - with an understanding there is more to human beings than being labeled "brain injury". I have experience as a therapist in outpatient neurology and inpatient/ICU. I created/facilitated the THINK B.I.G. Brain Injury Group weekly Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) group for Brain Injury Survivors , am connected with Center for Brain Injury Research and Training (CBIRT) & LoveYourBrain Foundation.

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.
