All behavior makes sense in context. As someone whose family has been touched by traumatic brain injury (TBI), I am familiar with the unique challenges that families face when recovering from such a life-altering event. A licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in all things brain-related, providing comprehensive evaluations that look at factors related to one's injury as well as other contributory variables. Typically, such evaluations can take up to eight hours, but in the comfort of your own home (or at my office in Loveland), we can try to understand what's going on with regard to problems with memory, attention, executive function, and visuospatial abilities as well as possible changes in personality. No two brain injuries are alike, just as no two people bring into their TBI/ABI the same developmental, educational, occupational, social, and psychological backgrounds.
At Brain Injury Behavioral & Neuropsychological Services, you will get someone who takes the time to try to understand the ramifications of your injury and how it has affected you, both good and bad. Navigating the road back from brain injury is never easy, and the topsy-turvy world of unknowns can make recovery feel like an impossibility.
For almost two decades, it has been my privilege to work in the field of brain injury in a number of different capacities, from advocate and program coordinator to Certified Brain Injury Specialist and Licensed Professional Counselor. In addition to neuropsychological evaluations, I provide home-based therapy for people with brain injury. In 2002, Brain Injury Behavioral Services was born, and after acquiring my doctoral in clinical psychology in 2014, I expanded the name to include Neuropsychological Services. Fifteen years as a journalist for various publications, from the Caribbean to New York City, failed to give me the sense of calling I now feel as I journey with others trying to find hope and make sense of their topsy-turvy world.
I emphasize the role that a community of supportive friends and family play in the healthy recovery of someone with a brain injury. Emerging from the emotional deadness that sometimes follows brain injury isn’t easy, but you’ve struggled long enough. I hope you’ll invite me to join you on your journey back to life.
