I work both as a psychotherapist and a neuropsychologist. My areas of therapy specialization are illness/medical issues (such as cancer, chronic pain, and spinal cord injuries), aging issues, coping with dementia or other cognitive limitations, and couples issues. I also provide neuropsychological assessments, particularly for seniors who may be concerned about cognitive decline. My style is flexible, compassionate, and down to earth. I try to be responsive to the needs of my clients, and work creatively and collaboratively to find the best way to be helpful.It can be really hard to be facing a major illness, life transition, or struggle with marital difficulties. I believe that times of discomfort and change can also generate growth and healing, and I try to help my clients through that process with good humor and compassion.One of my specialties is in working with people who have mild cognitive impairment or dementia. What do we talk about? We talk about everything. We talk about the fears about the future, the sadness about the diagnosis, the regrets about having to give up some aspects of independence.
