As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, I validate the unique way your brain is wired, and seek to understand rather than pathologize. Understanding how and why your brain works helps you advocate for yourself and identify what skills and life changes will help you feel more comfortable. Finding meaning and fulfillment in life despite when challenges come your way is the goal!
I provide telehealth and outdoor-based individual therapy for teens and adults, aged 12+, with a focus on ADHD, Autism, LGBTQ+ issues, gender-affirming care, and caregiver support.

If you've been struggling with patterns of behavior that feel impossible to break, you don't need someone to tell you what's wrong, you need someone to help you figure out what's getting in the way and build something better. That's what I do at Behavioral Efficiency PLLC. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 8 years of experience helping individuals move through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. My approach isn't about fitting you into a framework, it's about understanding how your mind works, what's driving your patterns, and what genuine, lasting change actually looks like for you.

Time is up! Every morning you tell yourself today will be different. You do your best not to fall apart or explode, but by day's end you find yourself right back where you started... Is irritability, anxiety, or anger robbing you of your vitality? Are you fighting with the kids, partner, family, and friends? Feeling like a failure? FYI, it doesn't have to be this way... Feeling stuck seems normal because life tricks us into believing "this is just who I am," but that's a LIE, and you can end this chapter. When you're ready, I can help you gain new perspective and self-awareness so you can challenge the lie and change your life.

My clients know that something's gotta give. It's time for a change, and even if they're not quite sure what that change need to be, they are ready to start the conversation. Issues like persistent anxiety, executive dysfunction and addiction are beasts that can wear you down and infect every area of your life. Figuring out where to start in tackling them, can be overwhelming and there is no need to go it alone.

All of us have moments in our lives where we feel stuck. Maybe life has become completely overwhelming and you find yourself unable to power through like you have in the past. Or maybe you're finally in a place where you're ready to explore the parts of your story that have always been just under the surface. Maybe you're a person of color that's never found the right words for your experiences and you find yourself drained from all the information in the media. Therapy is a space designed for you to not only address the issues you're facing right now but carefully examine what's led to this moment.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
