I am a clinical psychologist focused on helping kids, teens, and families navigate challenges related to ADHD, social relationships, difficult emotions, and stress. I believe that with the right supportive environment of empathy, patience, and guidance, we can all grow through these challenges and emerge stronger than before.

Accepting new clients with flexibility between 10am and 2 pm. Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My mission is to empower clients to become the best versions of themselves by supporting them in overcoming obstacles and accomplishing their goals. I provide a foundation for clients to become effective communicators, as well as self-confident and self-aware individuals. And hey - we'll have a bit of fun in the process as well!

Therapy is an empowering and restorative process that can help us heal from traumas and become more resilient. I take an empathic but direct approach in therapy to empower and motivate you to be authentic and value your strengths as you build a greater sense of confidence and self-esteem. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma, grief/loss, depression, addiction, or who struggle with low self-esteem/worth. In addition, I have worked with a wide range of other concerns, including but not limited to ADHD, anxiety and panic disorders, sexual health, codependency, relationship conflict, and identity confusion.

A privilege of my career is being able to guide clients towards seeing the best in themselves and striving to achieve their dreams. This involves partnering with clients to identify their strengths and growth areas in life. Assessing how physical, emotional, social, and spiritual values or beliefs may be helping or hurting optimal life satisfaction. Finally, developing unique tools that reinforce client's strengths in achieving their life goals. I am dedicate to serving the needs of the clients that I interact with on a daily basis and I look forward to being dedicated to working with you!
