Thank you for considering a new therapeutic relationship. These are unique times that have brought many different stressors to an already chaotic world. Please value your self-care at this time and feel free to reach out if you need psychological support or guidance. My clients typically include those who are seeking a long-term therapeutic relationship, as well as those who are hoping to address a specific issue in a limited time. I utilize an integrated, tailored approach. Always kind, supportive and non-judgmental, I will also provide direct feedback needed to facilitate change. Fun fact: I’m a true crime junkie and two bulldogs.

Feeling overwhelmed with everything you are managing right now? Feeling burned out from stress and life demands? Constantly measuring yourself against others? Do you always prioritize others' needs over your own and wonder who is taking care of you? Are you struggling with what you're feeling because you "should" feel great? Maybe everything was going great and then life threw you for a loop. Maybe these feelings are new. Maybe these are things you have felt for a long time and can't ignore any longer. No one has it all together and it is exhausting to try to pretend. You deserve more and can break these cycles.

I know it can be frustrating for adults with ADD/ADHD to find someone who really gets it. You've been told to "just" make a to-do list, or "just" buy a planner... If only it were that simple! ADHD is not simply a disorder among people who forgot to buy calendars. It is a different arrangement of wiring in the brain which comes with challenges, along with unique strengths and abilities. With patience and self-acceptance, you can improve your functioning and habits to begin making real progress towards your goals. Having the guidance of a caring professional who understands ADHD makes this process much less painful.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can share your history, struggles and symptoms and learn new techniques and strategies to cope and create a more fulfilling, balanced life and strong, positive relationships.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, focused on offering a compassionate, yet straightforward approach to growth, which encourages individuals to think deeper and build connections that will assist them with a better understanding of the underlying issues. I believe in creating and modeling a healthy human connection to make those feel safe as possible in a time for many that can feel vulnerable.

I leverage my professional experience to tailor treatment to meet the needs of high-functioning executives. I typically work with people experiencing anxiety, attentional, depressive, grief, personality, and trauma-/stressor-related disorders, as well as people adjusting to major life changes. I specialize in time-limited, structured therapy. I provide detailed psychodiagnostic assessments and establish clear agreement regarding treatment goals before transitioning to treatment.
