Clinical Services
Neuropsychology for the life that comes after.
I help adults and families understand how injury and illness have changed thinking, mood, and daily functioning — and turn that understanding into a practical plan forward.

Who I see
Adults rebuilding after a change to the brain or body
Traumatic brain injury
From concussion with lingering symptoms to severe TBI — including people well past the acute phase who are still working out what's changed.
Stroke & cerebrovascular events
Changes in attention, memory, language, processing speed, and emotional regulation after stroke or other vascular injury.
Spinal cord injury
Cognitive screening for co-occurring brain injury, and adjustment to a new body, new routines, and new roles.
Dementia & memory concerns
Older adults and families noticing changes in memory or thinking — clarifying what's normal aging, what isn't, and what to do next.
Chronic illness & medical complexity
The cognitive and emotional side of living with multiple or long-standing conditions — often the part no one has had time to address.
Families & referring professionals
Clear explanations and concrete strategies for care partners at home, and a clear cognitive picture for physicians, therapists, and case managers guiding care.
What I do
Services
Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation
A clinical interview, record review, and standardized testing of attention, memory, language, visual-spatial skills, reasoning, and mood — interpreted in the context of your injury or illness, your history, and your goals.
Dementia & memory assessments
Evaluation of memory and thinking changes to help distinguish normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia — and to identify contributing factors such as mood, medications, or medical conditions. Results support diagnosis, care and safety planning, and decisions about independence.
Feedback & rehabilitation planning
A dedicated session to walk through results in plain language, with written recommendations for daily life, treatment, and returning to work, school, or independent living.
Consultation with care teams
Collaboration with your physicians, therapists, and case managers so everyone is working from the same picture.
Med-legal & independent evaluations
Objective neuropsychological evaluations for attorneys, insurers, and case managers, including:
- Independent neuropsychological examinations (IMEs)
- Medical and neuropsychological record review
- Consultation on brain injury and cognitive outcomes
Telehealth
Intake interviews, feedback sessions, and consultation can be done by secure video for clients located in Nebraska. Standardized testing is typically completed in person.
My approach
Trauma-informed. Honest. From both sides of the bed.
I have spent time as the patient, so I know what it's like to feel rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a chart. Evaluations here are paced, collaborative, and trauma-informed — you'll understand why we're doing each step, and you'll leave with answers you can actually use.
