My identity as an AuDHDer and my experiences inform my practice as a therapist. They also spark an intense interest (aka hyperfocus aka SPIN) in learning more about the difficulties and challenges associated with being neurodivergent and how to help others with the same. I love working with neurodivergent individuals of all genders, as neurodivergence is different for everyone - it keeps me on my toes. I am passionate about helping people understand and accept their brain differences - how to manage the difficulties and challenges, while also recognizing strengths and abilities.

Do you struggle to get out of bed and face another day? Maybe your relationships are suffering. Are you on the hamster wheel of worry? Trouble sleeping? Does everyone want something from you, and you don't know how to say "No?" Maybe you feel stressed, depressed or anxious. If you answered "yes" to any of the above, please call me. I help professionals who want to feel good - and excited - about each day. You don"t have to suffer anymore.

Hello, hello, hello! My position as a psychotherapist is to help you become a better version of you, and if you'll let me, I can help you find out better what that could mean. As a therapist, it will never be my place to tell you what to do, how to think or how to feel. My role is to help you figure out what YOU want to do, how YOU think (and want to think) and how YOU feel (and how you WANT to feel). What YOU want for yourself is precisely what I want for you. My approach would be best described as laid back, fun-loving, incredibly warm, kind and validating. Think: Ted Lasso meets Luna Lovegood (from the Harry Potter series).

As a psychologist, I thrive on challenges. I specialize in comprehensive and court-ordered psychological assessments for juveniles and adults. I have many years of experience testifying in court. My forensic referrals come from judges, private attorneys, public defenders, and State and Federal Public Defenders and include Indiana competency or insanity assessments, juvenile waiver, sex offender risk assessments, child hearsay, TR 35, and post-conviction relief. Additionally, after many years working in residential treatment, I have developed expertise with children/adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral disturbances.

Do you ever feel like life is one huge juggling act, and you’re the one keeping all the plates spinning—your career, relationships, family, and yourself? Maybe you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Or perhaps food & body image feel like a constant battle, leaving you stuck in cycles of dieting, emotional eating, and self-criticism. Therapy isn’t about fixing you- it’s about unraveling the pressure, the self-doubt, and the impossible expectations you carry, so you can breathe again. You deserve a life that feels lighter, more balanced, and deeply aligned with who you truly are.

One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

Parents: You want the best for your child, but you don't know what to do to help him or her. Your child did not come with an owner's manual. You don't need blame, you need help! I understand that a child's behaviors serve a purpose, and we work together to eliminate the need for the behaviors or to fulfill the need in healthier ways. And if the problem isn't that serious? Well, coaching may be better for your child than therapy--we work on strategies to improve behavior or schoolwork or whatever your concern is.
