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 am a Clinical Trauma Professional (CTP) that utilizes evidence-based approaches such as CBT to assist clients with Traumatic Brain Injuries to navigate the physical and psychological symptoms of their injuries.

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 am a skilled therapist with a deep understanding of the intricate workings of the brain. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes that may arise as a result of brain injury. I empower individuals to navigate their recovery journey and reclaim their lives.

I am a certified brain injury specialist and can help you with a number of techniques to heal and hopefully regain what you lost.

At Nelmar Centers, we approach the diagnostic process with extreme dedication and determination. Our first and primary goal in working with a concussion is to establish what cognitive domains have been compromised and how the injury has affected the overall psychological functioning. We also use a qEEG brain scan as a supplemental measure to examine the areas of the brain that are functionally out of balance.

Navigating the world after acquiring a brain injury is no easy process. Everything about the way that you feel to the new life-style accommodations can flip your world upside down. I help my client's process their new challenges, and act as a teammate to create a new plan for success while adapting to their new needs.

Brain injury can turn every aspect of your life upside down. It can be immensely isolating and it is profoundly misunderstood by family, friends, the public, and even many medical professionals. It's been my sacred privilege to walk beside survivors of traumatic brain injury for the past 10 years in the medical field, and now as a counselor. You don't have to do this alone. I invite you to talk with someone who understands brain injury.

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.

Traumatic Brain Injury Counseling is therapy after a brain injury. TBI’s may come from having a stroke, concussion, car accident, etc. I want to help you who may be the family member, spouse or you may be the person that has experienced TBI, spinal cord injury, other bodily injuries, or a chronic illness by providing you positive coping strategies to help you emotionally get through these times. I also want to give you practical tools you can use to make life easier & more enjoyabale again.

In 2008, I experienced a TBI. I went from severe memory loss to being able to remember word for word what was discussed with a client. My knowledge of resources and how the brain operates help me to be able to help you recondition the mind in a powerful way. Rehabilitation is a process I am fully equipped to help you succeed in.
