Blast injury
Neurotrauma in the brain oftentimes goes beyond visible head injuries and diagnosed disease. Falls, car accidents, sports concussion, explosions, and loss 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. Whether you're just discharging from acute care or you've have been living with a brain injury for years, the right resources can make a difference. 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 same, but my underlying belief is that people can reclaim and redefine their sense of self.
