Cognitive Coaching & Rehabilitation
We support clients and patients who have experienced the following:
Traumatic brain injury
ADHD/Autism
Hormonal changes (perimenopause/menopause)
Long-Covid
Stress due to work or major life transitions
Brain fog/cognitive fatigue
We provide clinical and coaching services to address the cognitive challenges that may result from these scenarios or diagnoses. Often, these struggles manifest in a combination of unique ways, such as greater difficulty with the following:
Task paralysis/procrastination
Time management
Emotional and behavioral impulsivity
Memory
Attention
Problem solving
Word-finding
These challenges often result in frustration and a reduced quality of life. As a brain health clinician and experienced executive function coach, I specialize in providing services that are holistic, functional, and effective, rooted in a strengths-based, supportive approach.
Our approach
Evidence-based programs, holistic, and functional programs rooted in neuroscience and clinical expertise
Communication Coaching & Speech Therapy
Our communication coaching program helps you develop a speaking style that feels natural and genuine, highlighting your unique strengths while addressing any areas of concern.
Together, we might work on:
Rate of speech
Vocal pitch
Vocal intensity/loudness
Dialect/accent
Clarity, conciseness, and brevity
…all while helping you cultivate a warm, engaging, and authentic presence.
We specialize in reducing speaking anxiety, for both professional and personal contexts.
Our clinical services include expertise in the following areas:
Articulation/phonology
Fluency/stuttering
Social and pragmatic language
Selective mutism
While you may not have a formal clinical speech-language diagnosis, you will be matched with a professional with extensive, graduate-level training in communication sciences for any non-clinical cases.
Together, we will assess how your cognitive-communication challenges impact your confidence, well-being, and participation in your life. You will receive a tailored plan, with individualized goals for your unique, specific needs.
