Finding the right therapist is a powerful first step, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I specialize in working with teens (15+), adults, couples, and families impacted by ADHD. Whether you’re an individual struggling with focus, overwhelm, emotional regulation, or self-esteem, from our very first sessions, we’ll hit the ground running—working together to clearly identify the goals you want to accomplish. I believe in creating actionable steps, often assigning helpful “homework” to fast-track the process. If something isn’t working, we don’t stay stuck—we work to find what does.
Clients often describe me as a warm, down-to-earth therapist who provides supportive honesty. I believe that’s because I genuinely try to understand my clients, which makes them feel seen and understood. Now if something needs to be named for your growth, I’ll say it...yet always with care and compassion.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, growth, and meaningful change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I have availability 6 days a week, including days, nights and weekends. Click on the website link to book an appointment today!

I typically treat individuals and couples dealing with some type of family or relationship conflict. The initial session is spent gathering information related to when the problems started and what you hope to accomplish in therapy. Together we set goals and then I assign homework to complete in between our therapy sessions to help you start feeling better faster.
