If you’re looking for a therapist, you're ready for something in your life to change. Are you tired of trying to figure things out on your own? Are you struggling with your important relationships? Do the people you usually turn to for guidance no longer seem to know how to help? Whatever brought you to this point, your regular ways of making yourself feel better are no longer enough to restore your peace of mind. You don’t need to deal with all of that alone.
I have clinical expertise working with individuals struggling with OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Sensory Processing Disorders, Life Transitions, Grief, Trauma, Women’s Issues, Dating & Intimacy, Marital Distress, and Parenting Challenges. In addition, I specialize in working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum & their families.
I find therapy has the best results when there’s a collaborative alliance between us. Clients have described me as compassionate, dedicated, warm and approachable. My approach is client centered, strength based, and solution focused. Trained in a variety of methods, I utilize the most effective, evidence based techniques; tailored to fit your needs.
