NeuroPsychology Consultant

As a prospective Clinical Psychology Ph. D. student with a background in neuroscience, I seek to contribute to a culture in which clients and providers have access to comprehensible information on the brain. I believe that understanding the neurological basis of mental health and treatment is one of the most powerful tooks for psychological healing and flourishing. The incporporation of brain science into the therapy journey allows the client to assume a more involved role in the process by providing a more comprehensive understanding of how and why our minds can heal through treatment. My goal is to play a part in giving clients the confidence and information they need to take charge of their mental healthy journey.
