Hello! I'm glad you found my profile. My goal is to empower individuals to face fears, repair relationships with family, and get unstuck from destructive patterns. I've had success working with family courts mediating difficult relationships between parents and children. I am also an AD/HD specialist, and though I often work with children and adolescents who experience school anxiety, behavioral issues, and learning differences, I am also well versed in supporting adults with AD/HD. I have late and Saturday appointments available to accommodate busy schedules. With my experience, I know I have something to offer you and your family.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not believe in safe spaces as a viable, long term solution to anyones’ challenges, unless you’re willing to sacrifice your autonomy and allow fear to dictate how you live. However, I firmly believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore the issues that are creating fear and discomfort. Life is chaotic and unpredictable, and while there is a time and place for utilizing safe spaces, they should only be used in the short term. I’m very invested in empowering my clients to foster bravery, resilience, and perseverance so they are well equipped to navigate the challenges life throws their way.

Are you feeling consumed by worry and anxiety? Do you feel that some days you struggle to complete basic tasks? Are you finding that you doubt yourself and your choices? You are doing your best to survive, coping in ways you’ve learned due to your environment and past experiences. Although you realize these reactions or behaviors cause more suffering, you are simply doing the best you can. Relationships around you, both personal and professional, feel the pressure and you are ready to explore change. I have years of experience using a trauma-informed lens and holistic approach. Change can happen and healing DOES come.
