I am keen to work with all age groups. I am particularly interested in working with teens and emerging adults. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, I am interested in working with teens and adults with late-diagnosis ADHD. Other areas of my focus include anxiety during periods of transition, the junction of substance abuse and mental health, and coping with interpersonal or familial conflicts.
With a commitment to empowering individuals on their journey toward personal growth, I specialize in providing therapeutic support through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic lenses. My approach is rooted in the belief that every person possesses a unique blend of strengths and challenges that define their path to becoming their best selves.
I approach each client with a warm, non-judgemental stance. I'm passionate about applying a multicultural and trauma-informed framework to counseling. I'm interested in what makes each individual unique, and encourage introspection with an empathetic approach. I commend you for taking this first step, I hope to take the next step in your journey, together!
