Neurodegenerative
Neurotrauma in the brain oftentimes goes beyond visible head injuries and diagnosed disease. Falls, car accidents, sports concussion, explosions, and losses of oxygen to the brain can result in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes that people struggle with on an everyday basis. These changes may not even be visible on brain imaging scans, but are often given the medical recommendation to heal on their own over time. Any experienced differences are not always permanent, yet they can still cause significant disruption, frustration, and loss of normality for the person experiencing them.
My work with clients recovering from brain injuries is centered around providing counseling and rehabilitation strategies to aide in the aftermath of various forms of neurotrauma. My goal is that you walk away from our first session feeling more informed about your brain injury and hopeful for the progress that can be made during your recovery. I specialize in working with each individual to help them where their injury-related changes are most inhibitive or pronounced. No two of my client's injuries or treatment plans are the quite the same, but my underlying belief is that people can redefine and reclaim an effective self.

Any one symptom of a brain injury can wreak havoc on someone's life, let alone a whole constellation of symptoms. The good news is that the brain can be adaptable, malleable, and responsive to therapeutic interventions like counseling and cognitive rehabilitation exercises. We attribute this to the brain's capacity for neuroplasticity and cortical remapping. This means that even after the event of neurotrauma, injured parts of the brain can "rewire" to regain function.
