MY APPROACH

asa
We will schedule a weekly virtual session, allowing you time to put things into practice between sessions. You will learn to work with your strengths and manage areas of difficulty related to your executive functioning skills or physical capabilities. This will gradually allow you to live a more fulfilling life and accomplish tasks throughout the day with more comfort and ease.

Each week, we’ll add a new building block and adjust as needed. I typically see clients for one to four months, depending upon your short and long-term needs and overall progress. Additional monthly checks can be scheduled as needed.

I am an independent, licensed Occupational Therapist who specializes in assessing and treating individuals with mild to moderate cognitive deficits. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and went on to get my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Samuel Merrit College in Oakland, California. I bring 20 years of experience in treating people with a multitude of cognitive and physical disorders in a variety of settings (hospitals, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes).

Over the past six years, I’ve found my passion to be in Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy with a focus on  post concussion syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and early dementia. I’ve also found my stride in supporting clients virtually through Telehealth, which effectively opens new doors for treatment.

I have extensive evidence-based training in cognitive rehabilitation through the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM), and I’m committed to staying current in the latest field developments through continuing education classes and credits. I’ve completed course trainings in CBT-I (for insomnia), relaxation/mindfulness, concussion, brain health, nutrition, trauma, and chronic pain.

My approach is holistic and personalized, covering aspects such as cognitive challenges, emotional distress, sleep, and physical pain. I provide individuals with the necessary tools to help them function effectively and with greater ease in daily activities (work, school, home, and play/leisure).

In my free time I enjoy playing tennis and spending time outdoors with my husband, two daughters, and two pugs.
