"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to be over, it's about learning how to dance in the rain." - Vivian Greene. Life happens and sometimes we feel stuck or confused or alone. Counseling provides a safe, supportive place to work through those struggles. We are hard-wired to be in relationship with others. I believe the path to wholeness lies within each of us.

One of my heartfelt specialties is ADHD, which is increasingly prevalent among individuals aged 5 to 18 years old. Based on evidence-based practices & my own up-growing experience with clients, I firmly believe that factors such as nutrition, environment, societal influences, & social media play significant roles in shaping individuals with ADHD symptoms, whether they have been formally diagnosed or not. Understanding how these factors impact clients' functionality and well-being, I strive to provide a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental, and compassionate space. I offer treatments tailored to my clients' needs, desires, and goals.

We work with clients who are stuck in their head, over thinking, with a spiral of negative thoughts. Our clients usually feel like their anxiety or depression is holding them back from living a real life. They just want to be able to relax, find joy in things, have healthy relationships, and better boundaries. We help them do all of that and then some. Our clients leave therapy with better communication, a higher sense of self-worth, and the skills needed to move through difficult things without feeling overwhelmed. They have coping skills, real ones, sometimes for the first time!

Most of the people I work with want to change their relationships, improve communication and bonding, increase self worth and assertiveness, manage stress/anxiety/burnout, navigate life transitions and just figure out adulting!

Why is it that we are so much harsher on ourselves than we are on others? Sometimes it’s as if our inner critic has a zero-tolerance policy for ourselves. Even when we’re hurting, our critic might jump in and say “You shouldn’t be feeling this way, suck it up.” It can be hard to manage our pain (or outright heal!) if our inner critic is ruthless and unrelenting. If it feels like your critic is beating you down, I’m here to help. Much of my experience has focused on helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, trauma, identity issues, and relationship difficulties.
