Therapy for the resistant, the overwhelmed, and the "I’ve tried everything" crowd What to Expect: - No fluff—just real talk, real tools, and real change from day one - Brief, powerful therapy (single-session, CBT, SFBT, ADHD strategies); or long term if that's what you need. - Between-session email/text check-ins to keep momentum and accountability - Straightforward support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, addictions, relationship conflict, workplace stress, and emotional regulation. Let’s build resilience, boundaries, and tools that last. I offer free 15-minute consultations to ensure a good fit.
ADHD assessments + treatment; Couples therapy that actually moves the needle (breaking cycles of conflict, rebuilding connection, and navigating differences); workplace toxicity & burnout recovery (e.g. accommodations); Adaptable and flexible (meeting clients how they present- whether that’s crisis support, skill-building, or deep exploration of patterns).
I believe healing should be practical, skills over theory; accountability is more powerful than advice; One powerful session can shift everything—not everyone needs years on a couch. Systems shape people—therapy should challenge both. I advocate fiercely for neurodivergent folks, first responders, 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
