You exist within cultures, systems, and contexts that impact your health, wellbeing, and sense of who you are. Gender inequality, incarceration, racial inequality, LGBTQ discrimination, medical bias, financial insecurity, housing insecurity, etc. impacts our ability to thrive. We experience trauma within these systems and are left believing it's our own fault. Our own weakness. Our own problem to deal with. You are not alone! Navigating an unjust society is exhausting and you want to do more than survive and "get by". You want to thrive and live with integrity knowing that you exist and have a right to live with dignity.

I use the Interactive Metronome (see Interactive Metronome.com) to treat ADD, ADHD, Brain Injuries, and other what I call brain configuration issues. I work with children, adolescents, adults, GBLT, couples, and blended families that often blend like oil and water. I have worked with Veterans with PTSD and other issues.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, "Nothing ever great was accomplished without Enthusiasm". My passion is not only helping others in a time in need but also treating them with respect and dignity. I hold myself to high standards in maintaining the right of client determination while showing unconditional positive regard for all. My own goal as a therapist is to try to help others feel empowered, restored, and of course enthusiastic each and everyday.
