Parents sometimes face very important questions about their children, including: Does my child have ADHD or a learning disability? Why is my daughter having so many social difficulties?

The stress of everyday life can often feel overwhelming to us, creating confusion and fear. I believe that our early relationships and past experiences offer the key that can unlock the mysteries of why we often feel at odds with the world around us. I also believe the body and brain hold onto traumatic events and affect our current functioning. I approach therapy from a psychodynamic perspective, creating a safe holding environment to explore those relationships and influences. I would be honored to help you achieve your goals and assist you in creating increased contentment in your life.

I'm passionate about working with people who identify as or suspect they may be neurodivergent. I recognize that despite the wide diversities of experience that occur with ADHD, many individuals with the disorder are often overlooked because they don’t fit a stereotyped idea of what people think ADHD looks like. Perhaps you have felt your struggles were invalidated or overlooked by family, friends, or even other professionals. Whether you are seeking diagnostic clarity for accommodations at school/work, help with next steps, or simply to better understand yourself, I can help.
