It is so lovely to see you here. Congratulations on taking the first (and sometimes hardest) step in improving your mental health and quality of life! I am a neuropsychologist, which means I specialize in the evaluation & diagnosis of brain disorders. In other words, I can help answer questions such as "Do I have memory difficulties...ADHD, a learning disorder, dementia, or brain changes from a head injury or other illness?" or "How can I improve my organization or memory while dealing with symptoms of my diagnosis such as ADHD or a stroke".

There can be so much pressure to know who you are at a young age, but most people don’t! Therapy can be a place to explore who you are, who you want to be, and how you want to get there. As a therapist I care about empowering you to find your voice and engage in value-congruent action. I strive to work collaboratively, be mindful of power and privilege, and always seek to understand the world as you see and experience it so we can better find your path forward.

One of my favorite song lyrics says, "I'm just a spirit trying to be human." There’s so much weight that lives inside those words: emotions, questions, uncertainty. For those of us who wander, question who we are, or wonder what our purpose is, we can stumble if life hasn’t met our expectations. The majority of my clients identify as misfits, empaths, spiritual beings, and highly sensitive people who have survived childhood trauma, harsh life transitions, and an occasional identity crisis.

Do you ever feel like you are repeating the same viscous cycle in your relationship? Do you and your partner feel like you find yourselves arguing over the same issues? Do you feel disconnected from your partner and even at times feel like you do not matter to them? You are not alone. Couples can create rigid patterns that can develop into a blame/withdraw cycle that creates negative emotions that each individual absorbs. The cycle continues to repeat itself in different context (i.e. household duties, parenting responsibilities, intimacy) and then creates an unsafe emotional connection which can feel isolating.
