Philosophy of Care
I believe that creating strong, collaborative relationships with patients can encourages positive life change and improvements in health and wellness. I focus on identifying patient-centered treatment goals to help patients better manage stress and improve their quality of life. I enjoy exploring the mountains and surrounding hiking trails around Sacramento with my daughter.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Drake is a clinical neuropsychologist who specializes in adults. She provides comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of patients cognitive functioning for individuals with various neurologic conditions or concerns about worsening cognition. She has a special clinical interest in dementia assessment and traumatic brain injury. She has been trained and has experience working with patients using a range of evidence-based interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for chronic pain and insomnia, and motivational interviewing.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Drake has been involved in assessment and rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury (TBI) for many years and has published a number of papers on mild TBI and on the effects of blast injury on cognitive functioning. More recently, she has been especially focused on healthy aging/dementia assessment and enjoys educating and empowering her patients regarding the life style choices they make and how these choices can have a positive impact on their brain health.
