From Psychotherapy to Neuropsychology I’ve always had a passion for helping others. My career in mental health started with a strong focus on psychotherapy. However, when I encountered clients who didn’t respond to traditional therapy, my curiosity drove me deeper into the field of neuropsychology and neurofeedback for better mental health. My curiosity began when I began working with individuals who were active duty service members. I used all of the evidence based treatments such as EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, etc but at times no matter how much people were able to process some stayed in a const ..read more

Many of us find ourselves feeling rushed with the constant demands that seem impossible to fulfill. Many times it seems difficult to be able to find those quiet moments in which our mind can rest. I often find myself observing my dog in the mornings when I take her out. Dogs are so driven by their senses and I find it fascinating to see all the things that she enjoys taking notice of.

As I watch her curiously in the mornings, I often find myself contempla ..read more

As a child, I remember enjoying taking electronic toys apart and putting them back together. I was so curious as to what was underneath the plastic covers and how things worked.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to h ..read more

Diagnosis means so many things to different people. As human beings we like to categorize things so that they have meaning to us. It is how we describe co ..read more
