Have you or your child ever felt "different" or like you don't quite fit in? Maybe social situations feel confusing, school has always felt harder than it should, or you're exhausted from trying to meet expectations that don't seem designed for how your brain works. These are common experiences of my clients: pre-teens, teens, and young(ish) adults seeking support w/ school, work stress, social relationships, self-esteem, identity, or a deeper understanding of themselves. My services include counseling (ages 13+) and private psychoeducational evaluations (ages 7+) with an emphasis on Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism.
My goal is to help you identify coping skills, build confidence, increase motivation, and develop practical strategies to navigate life's challenges while staying true to yourself. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients and those experiencing mild to moderate Anxiety and Depression. I also provide parent training & psychoeducational assessment
I want you to leave services feeling empowered and prepared, whether through individual counseling or the insights gained from a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation. I use a strengths-based approach to identify areas where support is needed while building on the strengths you already possess. You can do hard things!

I often use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. For many of my teenage clients, I also use activities through the lens of the 5 pillars of social-emotional learning: self-acceptance, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and decision-making. Each person's treatment plan and goals are unique and individualized.
