Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Congratulations on deciding to reach out for support. Enlisting help is a challenging, but crucial, first step toward creating a life filled with more joy, meaning and satisfaction. Please allow me the opportunity to guide you through the challenges you are facing!
My education and training can help you navigate many situations, to include: your profound sense of loneliness or “not fitting in”, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, insomnia or sleep related issues, a later in life diagnosis, ADHD, Autism Spectrum and other neuro-divergance, social isolation, parenting a neurodiverse child,
questions around sexual orientation and/or gender, being a survivor of sexual assault or other sexual trauma, issues related to menopause, restlessness and chronic “over thinking”, identifying/surviving Narcissistic abuse, exploring career shifts / pivoting into your true calling, navigating a terminal diagnosis, and exploring clinical options and/or medicat
ions that may help you to manage some of your current challenges.
I am a Ph.D level Clinical Resident in Psychology currently practicing in VA under the license and supervision of Lindsay Brancato, Psy.D.
Following treatment with me, clients typically report understanding themselves more fully, and an increased sense of self-compassion and empathy.
