I work with aduIts and couples. I specialize in helping you to improve your relationships if you have struggled with this throughout your live. Today, you may have challenging relationships with family members. Perhaps you avoid conflict because you get anxious and don’t know what to say when someone is angry with you. Emotionally, you may shut down, go numb or explode. You may fear that your partner will leave you or that you don’t need anyone. Maybe you don’t know who you are, or who you are meant to be, or you often have critical thoughts about yourself. Perhaps you suffer from ongoing anxiety or depression without a known cause.

Dr. Tucker specializes in comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for school-aged children, teens, and young adults that are personalized and focused on understanding the individual as a whole.

Using a warm, open, non-judgmental and direct approach, I support my clients in connecting with their feelings (not just thoughts), and from there, what will be healing and right for them, in all aspects of their lives. I specialize in adults and couples (all sexual orientations; all types of relationships). My goal for you is not only to reap the benefits of feeling better because your depression has lifted or your anxiety has quelled, but to connect with yourself in such a way that you feel empowered to live the life you choose.

Quality psychotherapy can be life-altering, especially when one is motivated and open to the process necessary for change.

I specialize in working with ADHD, HSP, and ASD. Being in our bodies- and being in our world- can be very difficult. This is especially true when when you're a highly sensitive person. My typical client often hears "you're being too much" while also dreading the feeling of not "being enough". I'm here to take a deep dive into what's making you feel like "too much" and highlight the ways you are "just enough for the right people". Typically, my client's goals are to live more comfortably in their sensitive skin, find liberation from shame, and better manage depression and anxiety.

My work is solutions oriented and focused on (1) individuals diagnosed with OCD/ADHD/Trichotillomania/Excoriation Disorder/Hoarding and other Neurodiverse conditions experiencing unhelpful thinking as a result of experiences struggling with symptoms such as executive functioning, sensory overload, etc. (2) families raising children with neurodivergent conditions needing support in resolving concerns and strengthening positive relationships at home, and (3) family therapy for adult children experiencing “failure to launch” and diminished autonomy from their parents who are motivated to achieve independence.
