All of our behaviors are adaptive, even the ones we wish to change. There was likely a time and place that even the most pesky of habits helped to protect or get you through difficult times. We will explore the "when" and "why" of your past parts as we work to create change in the here and now. I appreciate life can be difficult, relationships overwhelming, and decision-making about major transitions both exciting and paralyzing. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress from work, relationship problems, or finding your voice, we can work towards your goals together..
I help individuals by identifying and changing less than helpful patterns and establishing healthier ways to cope with stress. I provide a collaborative therapeutic space so that you can feel safe enough to explore past wounds and secure enough to be challenged outside your comfort zone.
Additionally, as a board-certified Neuropsychologist, I evaluate and diagnose changes in brain function. Are you struggling with attention, learning, problem solving, or memory? Concerned about ADHD, Autism, Dementia, or another neurological condition (Parkinson's, MS, brain injury, or stroke)? Please reach out to discuss evaluation options.
