You wake up each day and the world around you feels more difficult to understand and engage with. You find yourself encountering obstacles everywhere and you feel stuck. You say to yourself “I’ve tried talking with family and friends, and nothing has changed”. The symptoms of stress, anxiety, and sadness haven't gone away or even lessened and you don't understand why. I understand reaching out to a counselor can be a frightening decision. You want to make sure you find the right person to connect with to talk about your painful and confusing thoughts and emotions. I’m here for you. I will listen to respond and not to react.

Sometimes life throws us lemons, and prioritizing our self-care and mental health helps us cope! I enjoy supporting others through individual therapy, as well as parent coaching. For individual therapy I work with both male and female clients, ages 12 and older.

Do you find yourself setting goals that you rarely reach? Do you often feel that you've worked your hardest all day yet failed to complete the tasks in front of you? Living with executive functioning challenges can present invisible obstacles that others may minimize or dismiss as excuses. If you have ADHD and/or Autism, you are likely familiar with these situations, as well as the impact these repeated experiences can have on your emotional and mental well-being. As a person with ADHD, I assure you there are solutions!

I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I adopt a collaborative approach to treatment working closely with my clients to determine goals for counseling. Together, we will explore both the current circumstances and the past experiences that are contributing to your concerns. Then, we team up to find solutions to current problems and work to heal old wounds. I use an eclectic approach tailored to the specific needs of each client, but primarily draw from psychodynamic, existential, CBT, and mindfulness interventions.

Are you ready to take back control over your mental health? I believe mental health is wealth, and one of the best ways we can help and better ourselves is by taking care of our mental wellness. I’ve previously worked in various clinical settings providing individual Outpatient Therapy, including a transitional living facility, public charter elementary school, and community college. I also have experience conducting counseling groups and workshops with adults of differing ages and intellectual abilities. Lastly, I’ve worked with families to foster positive change and improve interactions.

Through my specialized training, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that draws upon the strengths of Adlerian Psychology, the practical tools of CBT, and the deep introspection of Humanistic Existentialism. I believe in tailoring each session to your individual needs and goals, creating a safe and compassionate space where we can work together to address concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and personal development. Together we can work through those experiences and find a way to pave a route through your past experiences into a better tomorrow.

Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you during a confusing or scary time. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals! I believe that everyone is capable of making choices and changes in their lives that will help them maximize their potentials if given the right support and feedback in a safe environment. This is what happens with good psychotherapy. I look forward to joining you on this journey!
