Welcome! I work with adults and quirky teens that feel out of place in their environment, are neurodivergent, or just sense their brain is "spicier" than those around them. I offer diagnostic evaluation, consults, ongoing psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary referrals to navigate life. My goal is for your mind to be seen and understood for its value, rather than labeled as an impairment and masked.
Almost 20 years ago, I started in the field as an oncology therapy intern where I saw firsthand the covalent bond of physical and psychological health. I learned early on that system integration is the key to healing; and it's a lesson I've carried with me. This concept is imperative to the divergent mind given its linked medical conditions and experiences.
I am lucky to have held roles in emergency medicine evaluation, primary care, substance abuse, residential/ inpatient care, including senior leadership. Every step of the way, l've always been partial to the "odd ducks".

Neurodivergent people experience the same depression, trauma, anxiety, loss, and substance use as allistic individuals; the difference is in how their brain and body experience stressors overtime. I treat most mental health and life issues and understand my patients often burnout in relationships and work not due to a disability, but because of deep caring, values, and exceptional work ethic.
