My work as a mental health professional focuses on helping individuals heal from traumatic experiences perpetrated by others. I study post traumatic growth and human perpetrator behavior for healing and prevention.
In my role as a Cognitive Specialist, I assessed individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis for cognitive impairments. Based on the result, the client and I collaborated on a plan that included cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) to restore cognitive functioning. We also worked on coping skills, personal organization, psychoeducation, goal-setting, and other tasks that help increase cognitive skills to achieve short and long-term goals for recovery.
