Many young adults, college students, and adolescents struggle with challenges related to managing ADHD, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience working with ADHD and help clients manage symptoms and challenges through education, a compassionate understanding and the development of individualized strategies to help with your particular challenges. I am a certified CBT therapist and find this evidence based therapy a cornerstone in treating anxiety and depression. Sometimes these challenges coexist with each other. We will work together to decide what your particular needs are and develop a plan that fits those needs.

I specialize in anxiety (OCD, panic, phobias) and depression.
Ready to find peace with specific problems you face or make changes that will alter how you feel about yourself, your life and your relationships? Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money and energy, so finding a therapist you match well with is essential. My approach is very interactive, supportive and engaged. My first goal is to help you shed light on issues you may be struggling with. Next, we actively work to make expedient changes that will qualitatively change the way you feel on a daily basis with yourself and in your relationships.

Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, therefore it is important to find a therapist that meets your specific needs.

Sometimes life throws us something that turns our whole world upside down. Other times life is “fine,” but we just don’t feel fine. We may be overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, depression, or just feeling stuck. If you are wondering whether now is the right time for therapy, the answer is probably “yes.” You start to feel different when you do things differently. Whether you are a teen, young adult, or adult, I can offer you a non-judgmental, creative space with fresh ideas and hope for the future.

I am very interested in; helping individuals navigate difficult transitions including divorce and its aftermath, single parenting, retirement and aging; providing guidance for parents with child rearing concerns; supporting teachers dealing with work and personal issues; and helping people experiencing depression, anxiety and eating issues.
It takes courage to decide to change and to reach out to a therapist to join you on that journey. The best outcomes occur in the context of a therapeutic relationship that feels like the right match for you, in terms of the therapist's interpersonal style, approach, and expertise. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with my clients to make the changes they are seeking in their relationships, their self-understanding, their unwanted patterns of behavior, and their mood. My approach is active, supportive, warm, respectful, compassionate, and strength-focused. I use multiple approaches to help clients find solutions.

Life can be challenging, and how one copes with this directly affects the quality of their life. Living in the past might promote depression since it is unchangeable. Living in the future can lead to anxiety while you anticipate what is yet to come. In our sessions, we collaborate on coping with your past, dealing with your future, and finding the courage to live in the present moment, where living a quality life begins. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of clinical experience.

I offer either parent coaching or full family therapy around topics such as ADHD, late diagnosed autism, adoption, chronic dysregulation, emerging borderline personality disorder, anxiety/ depression, or school refusal.
Do you feel like nothing you say or do with your teenager is right? Are you worried about your child's safety, their behavior, and/or their future? Trying to effectively parent a struggling teenager can be incredibly challenging. Whether your teen is engaging in unsafe behaviors, won't go to school, or is constantly dysregulated, the pressure this puts on parents and siblings can be overwhelming. I help families/parents/individuals identify what their therapeutic goals are, what is getting in the way of meeting those goals, and what needs to happen to create a safer, healthier family that can move forward together.
