My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

I work with ADHD couples and Individuals that have experienced any type of relationship trauma or disconnect in their relationship. I work to help these couples feel like they are in a different space where they can work on communication, connection and closeness. In addition, I use tools so that the couple build their own self-awareness to the negative cycle of conflict that transpires in the relationship. I also work on the aspect of ADHD and its impact on the couple. As these skills are brought forward, it can then lead to deeper subconscious emotions coming to the surface.
