My Practice & Services

Counseling after Brain Injury Following a brain injury, individuals may experience cognitive fatigue, as well as emotional and behavioral changes, difficulties in relationships, social isolation, and reduced overall well-being. A biopsychosocial approach to brain injury rehabilitation emphasizes psychoeducation for both individuals and families, recognizing the interaction between the biological injury, cognitive fatigue, and psychological factors. This approach is supported by evidence-based treatment models. Benefits include: Improved understanding of brain injury Reduced anxiety and depression Increased self-awareness Development of strategies to manage stress and social isolation Acquisition of new skills and enhanced coping strategies to address ongoing challenges

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

i truly believe in Healing and growth is possible regardless of the past. The lotus symbolizes the resilience of trauma survivors: no matter how deep the darkness, the right environment allows us to rise and flourish. Survivors once isolated by trauma can rise and bloom into their fullest potential. The Lotus is rooted in mud and born from the swamp Remaining resilient to its surrounding environment Untouched by the dirt it blooms Holding no residue, the petals gleam.
