The process of therapy can be daunting, and can bring up lots of different feelings, including nervousness, overwhelming thoughts, and intimidation, to name a few. But did you know it can also bring forward other things like silliness, validation, and just a space to breath and talk? As an RP (Qualifying), I hope to bring forward the latter and help create a safe, warm, comforting space for you to work through whatever has brought you into my office. Together, we can work out therapeutic goals, process life events, or just hold space for talking.

You desire more from life, but have no idea how to achieve it.

Your past, limiting beliefs about yourself, lack of tools, structures, motivation, maps and accountability are keeping you STUCK. You hate it, but have no idea how to get out of this rut of stagnation, and you sometimes feel like giving up. It's likely that you've even tried-several times-to change, but you keep ending up in the same place, only now, you're even more discouraged.

Clients I work really well with are interested in collaborating and brainstorming about the challenging situations and difficulties in their lives. Overtime, we work together to develop understanding and solutions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who suffer from ADHD or are impacted by someone who has ADHD. Of course clients with ADHD also often have co-morbid conditions like anxiety, depression and PTSD; I am very happy to help them with the issues related to these problems as well. Also, I enjoy completing complex psychological assessments; I find them challenging in a very good way.
