Hi! In a world where so many of us regularly get the message that we are flawed, I think it is important to start by saying something that we might not hear so regularly, which is, that it is okay to be you. But if I’m being honest, being yourself is not always an easy thing to do. As a therapist, I place priority in creating a therapy environment where clients feel safe to share the most authentic versions of themselves without fear of judgement. In addition to a safe therapeutic space, my goal is to assist clients on their paths towards self-expression and self-acceptance no matter where they are in their journey.

Being a human is challenging. Being a human with ADHD adds extra challenges. It's easy to give up on goals, feel scattered, and that you just can't seem to tap into your potential. The good news is- some of the most common ADHD traits are resilience, persistence, and creative/outside of the box problem solving. My work focuses on helping clients better educate, empower, and embrace their understanding of their ADHD and themselves. With my approach as a therapist/coach- it is incredible how much more consistently you will begin to feel like your best self. My work is grounded in my own lived experiences as a fellow ADHD human!
