I believe the most important question we can ask ourselves is, "What do I want?" I believe that everyone has an ability to move towards growth, healing, and fulfillment. I approach therapy from a perspective learning and believe that the more we learn about ourselves, the better able we are to make choices about how we want to move forward in life. I use an integrative framework to address each client’s individual needs. I work from a trauma informed lens and use interventions from existential, Attachment Theory, Gottman, ACT, IPT, and EFT.

I imagine you are tired of handling things on your own. You feel stuck within your life trying to manage rejection, conflict, or failure. Relationships feel uncertain. You give and give and receive little to nothing in return. While you think about making changes, you can become overwhelmed. As a result, you feel like giving up. But you haven’t. You have courage. And I admire you for it. So, take a deep breath and let’s talk.

If you have ADHD or something close (i.e. OCD, anxiety, depression, and/or relationship issues), you might find everyday life events to be incredibly overwhelming (even simple work tasks and chores). You might notice that life events like starting a new job or committing to an academic major might challenge your sense of identity, disrupt your routines, and cause you to question our goals and values. You might find that you're procrastinating, losing track of appointments, and forgetting things you should remember. Sometimes it’s easy to feel stuck, lost, or helpless.

Job loss, divorce, loss of a loved one, legal issues, health issues, even joyous occasions like a new addition to your family are just some of life's biggest challenges. Sometimes people can cope with life's instabilities for years and then suddenly, they just can't. The proverbial straw that has broken the camel's back. We learn the coping skills we once used are no longer working. By working together, we can develop effective ways to manage life's challenges I chose the counseling field out of a desire to help individuals find as much contentment in their lives as possible. My approach to helping clients is multi-faceted.

I work with a variety of mental and emotional challenges, focusing on stress management, addiction, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. My personal experiences with these issues, and the profound help I received through therapy, inspired my decision to become a psychologist. Growing up, I struggled with attention and rule-following, which led to difficulties in school and eventually addiction. Therapy and community support were pivotal in turning my life around.

Waitlist for new clients
I aim to bring curiosity, warmth, and compassion to every session. In my approach I look at the "big picture" of a client's life, understanding how current challenges stem from past experiences, relationship patterns, and a person's beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. We'll explore each of these factors, then create a holistic plan that encompasses the mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational. I hope that my clients will feel more empowered, self-loving, and connected after working with me, having a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.

There are times when it seems life will unravel if you look too closely at the circumstances and parts of yourself you’ve worked hard to ignore. Yet, the life you’ve curated has become untenable. You’re faced with a choice: withstand this vague, nagging sense of anxiety and disconnection or find a way to explore the possibility of something new. I believe we all have within us the capacity to lead rich, meaningful lives.
