We will work together collaboratively to better understand the way your brain works and embrace the differences that make you, you!

She screens all patients for ADD and substance abuse and treats these issues.
No, you do not have to keep suffering like this. You are suffering for reasons that can be identified and resolved in psychotherapy. If you could have figured it out on your own, you would have already, because you have really tried. You do not need "coping strategies" or suggestions or other superficial band aids for your pain, you need to understand what about you is functioning well and what isn't, and to develop the self-awareness, self-knowledge, and emotional competence that will get you out of this pain into the life you want to live.

Do you feel different than others or have been told you are? Do you struggle to adapt to last minute changes to plans or environmental feedback like noises or light? Do you struggle to make or maintain relationships or jobs? Many people these days feel like the work or school day is physically and emotionally exhausting, trying to 'fit in' and 'measure up.' Perhaps you or your child recently been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD or other related conditions and you are struggling to adapt to this new identity. Do you suspect that you or your child may be neurodivergent, but don't know where to turn?

As a certified sex therapist much of my work involves supporting clients around their sexual and erotic wellness, among other common goals such as addressing: grief/sadness, anxiety/stress, life-event stress/ trauma, executive dysfunction/ ADHD, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapies.
Hey there, I'm Jared. Thank you for taking the time to look at my statement page. If you are looking for a counselor that is empirically-focused, strength-based, directive, and easy to talk to, I might be the kind of counselor you're looking for. My approach to counseling is a scientific-model led, client collaborated, personal relationship focused. We meet, talk about what you want to talk about, and I will be there for positive support, processing, and to teach about symptoms and interventions. Traits of clients that thrive best with me are curiosity, willingness/ desire to grow, and willingness to try new things.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with couples, teens and individuals struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression.
I serve clients who want to gain self insight. This often gives clients relief from depression and anxiety because they have discovered their triggers, thought patterns and internal beliefs that have lead them to their presenting symptoms. I love serving couples who struggle with communication and have a desire to feel connected and "seen" by their partner.

If you identify as a healer, artist, nerd, or lifelong learner seeking to find purpose, explore career decision-making, manage your ADHD, and heal from anxiety, depression, or trauma—I would love to connect with you. You can expect an understanding, inclusive, and exploratory approach to help educate and empower you to grow and heal. I am a fan of giving clients- "homework" assignments and work to help them build habits and changes in and outside sessions.

I've been a licensed psychologist for almost 20 years, specializing in Psychological Evaluation for ADHD and learning disabilities for those ages 5-60. If you are concerned about learning or attention problems (including Dyslexia) in yourself or your child, I welcome you to contact me. Other testing services include giftedness and school admissions. I also really enjoy providing therapy to adult women seeking help with anxiety, self-esteem, relationships (friends and romantic), job stress, grief, and parenting. I have a child with a serious heart defect and would love to help if you need similar support.

I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider.
I have wanted to work as a therapist with children since I was 13 years old. Even after working as a licensed therapist for over 7 years, this passion has remained. I've worked with many children dealing with issues related to anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulties at home, school, and with peers. My hope is that if I can help a child work through these issues while they're still young, they can take these tools with them and maybe life won't have to be so hard as they get older.
