MISSION
Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology is the study of the human mind. As a neuropsychologist, I study how disease and trauma affect the brain, and the relationships between the brain and cognition, behaviour, personality, and mood. My goal is to help patients and their support structures understand themselves after a brain trauma, and how to reclaim their lives.
