When life feels overwhelming, whether from anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, ADHD, or ongoing stress it can be hard to make sense of what’s happening inside you. I work with individuals managing these challenges as well as neurodivergent clients and families seeking behavioral support for their children, including 504/IEP guidance. Together, we uncover the “why” beneath the “what” to build clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, ruminative thinking, and behavioral challenges. I provide therapy, offer functional behavior assessments, and Behavior Support Plans while helping children, teens, and adults develop emotional regulation, coping skills, and strategies to succeed at home, school, and work.
I support clients and caregivers navigating stress, emotional challenges, or neurodivergent needs. I collaborate with families and schools to implement 504/IEP supports, behavior plans, and strategies that foster emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. Together, we work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I incorporate concepts from CBT and ABA in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the best approach. Together, we'll examine how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and I'll guide you in learning strategies to change patterns, build coping skills, and improve your well-being.
