I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with anxiety and ADHD. My ideal clients often grapple with feelings of overwhelm, frequent worries, and difficulties managing daily tasks. They may be seeking ways to improve their focus, manage stress, and develop coping strategies to lead a more balanced life. My clients aim to gain better control over their thoughts and behaviors, enhance their self-esteem, and achieve personal and academic/professional goals. With extensive experience working with patients across the lifespan, I am committed to providing personalized, empathetic, and practical support.

As a specialist in anxiety and ADHD, I am dedicated to helping adults and adolescents uncover their diagnoses and manage their symptoms effectively. My approach is family-centered and holistic, ensuring that we look at the whole picture to provide the best care possible.

I understand that reaching out for help can be a daunting step, but you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Whether you're seeking clarity on your diagnosis, strategies to manage symptoms, or support for your family. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and treatments needed to lead a fulfilling and centered life.

I work with clients experiencing depression or trauma related to relationships or family. In our initial sessions, we'll thoroughly explore these issues and jointly develop a plan to address them, aiming to help you regain control of your life. Most of my clients notice a gradual easing of symptoms within the first month, followed by sustained improvement.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. During our sessions, I will teach you how to apply this therapy on your own, reducing the need for a therapist in the future.
