I focus treatment on a combination of providing information, skill building, and evidence based treatments. Being tech-interested also helps me connect with younger clients, and bridge the gap of resistance to change or getting help.

If you are seeking a deeper understanding of why you or your child struggles with focusing or learning, then I can help clarify what is getting in the way of reaching one's full potential. You may wonder if there is a name for the difficulty (e.g., is it dyslexia? ADHD?) or you may be unsure if having such a name would be helpful. More importantly, you are wanting a better sense of the strengths and weaknesses that you or you child have and what strategies and interventions would be most helpful.

Are you striving to appear confident, professional, and composed on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside? Do anxiety, ADHD, learning differences, or relationship challenges often hinder your progress? Many skilled professionals envision the life they desire but struggle to achieve it. If you're encountering setbacks and frustrations, remember you don't have to face them alone. Sometimes, an external perspective can help clear the internal obstacles preventing you from reaching your potential.

I support people of all ages with personal or relationship challenges, mood/anxiety disorders, neuro-developmental differences ( ADHD/Autism) and provide educational counseling and advocacy.
Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.
