Bio

I am a Brain Injury Psychotherapist. A Missouri LPC since 2007, I have a specialized brain injury psychotherapy and counseling private practice at the Brain Injury Foundation of St. Louis.

In 2022, along with two fellow US-based brain injury psychotherapists,I had the privilege of being interviewed by Counseling Today’s Bethany Bray. Here is her published article:


I am devoted to helping individuals, couples, families, and care-partners tackle the psychological challenges that accompany central nervous system injuries. I sub-specialize in treating individuals with communication disorders, e.g., aphasia.

I employ integrative person-centered customized treatment protocols, utilizing existential counseling, motivational interviewing, behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychoeducation. My interventions employ both verbal and nonverbal techniques. 

I collaborate with physicians, speech and language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and other behavioral health and rehabilitation professionals.

My patients and clients are referred by hospitals, post-acute rehabilitation facilities, university clinics, and private parties.
