It has been a privilege in my many years of experience to work with clients struggling to find their way at a particular time in their life.

In therapy, we together establish a collaborative and trusting relationship in which we will set specific goals that you want to address.

I specialize in working with the neurodiverse community (all ages) and draw from a wealth of experience to provide psycho-education, validation, empathy, and strategies. I hold space for processing the challenges while also working to identify strengths. When working with children, I utilize play therapy to focus on building your child’s understanding of their ADHD brain, equip them with skills to both understand and communicate what they are feeling, improve self-control, and increase their confidence. This often helps reduce the intensity of emotions that can be otherwise felt and expressed in BIG ways!

It’s hard to know how to start an introduction like this. It can quickly feel like I am trying to “sell” myself to you, which is not the point. It's for you to get to know me. I have found therapy to be most beneficial under two conditions: first and foremost, a person HAS to be ready. Ready to make changes; ready to dig deep. I think we have all been guilty of continuing the same patterns of behavior, hoping things will magically change one day. I advise a healthy mix of tangible change along with exploration to identify how core beliefs, negative thoughts and family dynamics impact present behaviors and relationships.

I believe children have an inherent ability to work toward growth and solve their problems. I strive to create a safe environment where clients can do this work, with the support of the counselor. My desire is for counseling to be a space where children can be authentically themselves and practice new behaviors and perspectives. I also utilize frequent collaboration with caregivers to introduce lasting change outside of the therapeutic environment.
