Do you have or suspect you have ADHD? Has social media, yes TikTok/instagram, lead you to suspect you may have ADHD but don't know where to start. I'm passionate about helping you understand ADHD, how it affects YOU and what you can do with it. ADHD is widely misunderstood as a lack of focus or attention. ADHD is more accurately an issue of regulation which includes emotions, impulsivity, money, attention, sensory sensitivity etc. I work with clients on managing the symptoms of ADHD, the shame, guilt, anxiety and depression that stem from having ADHD in our society. Let's work together to create an environment that suits your brain.

Starting or returning to counseling often means that you are facing a challenge that does not have a simple solution. Sharing what is on your mind may be a relief, but for many people, it is also anxiety provoking. Whether your concerns are present-focused or have roots in the past, we can create a space where you can process and grow through the obstacles you are facing. Areas in which I have special knowledge include trauma and anxiety. I currently offer talk therapy, EMDR, and EMDR intensives. During sessions, you can expect me to express empathetic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.

Welcome to my profile. I applaud you for taking the first big step to seek out a therapist that you feel is the best fit. I believe that at some point in our lives, most people could benefit from receiving some additional support - especially from an outside perspective that focuses on only you. As beautiful and exciting as life can be, it can also be extremely challenging and overwhelming. There are many things in our lives that we cannot control, however, there are things that we do have control over which are the parts that I feel are important to work through together in therapy.

If you're looking for a therapist to provide honest, empathetic support you've come to the right place. I believe in making the experience of therapy fit the needs of each of the people I work with because therapy isn't a "one size fits all" experience. I strive to provide a relaxed atmosphere because I know that the therapeutic relationship you have with me is what is most important for you to succeed in our work together. This process isn't always easy but it can be incredibly rewarding too. If you think I may be a good fit but still have questions, please feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
