I offer clients wellness services, mental health therapy, and medical and neurological rehabilitation services that use traditional talk therapy as well as music and the creative arts as treatment tools. My goal is to help you, or your child, develop the skills and abilities to feel your best physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sessions may include education around the role of trauma, past experience, and neurochemistry in how we feel and act now, mindfulness exercises, relaxation practices, creativity-based activities, and the development of individualized plans to help practice healthier thought and behavior patterns.

Whether you are struggling with mental health issues, your identity, or just need someone to talk to, I believe help should be non-judgmental and accessible to everyone. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, high school and college students, people of all spiritual or religious beliefs (including people without religious beliefs), and self-identified “people-pleasers.”

Discovering, enabling, and living into your fullest potential is your work in this life. My work is to enable you in this quest by improving your brain-body function. At MaxWell Clinic, my team and I approach each person from an integrative perspective taking into account his/her unique biochemistry, life experiences, goals, electrophysiology (brain waves and brain ruts), and genetics. Our therapeutic approach encompasses a wide breadth of root-cause-centered interventions such as EEG-Neurofeedback, nutritional and dietary therapy, coaching and functional medicine with a goal of creating health using a minimum of pharmaceuticals.

I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating grief, loss, trauma, chronic or terminal illness, and major life transitions. I take an integrative approach that considers the mind-body connection and the simultaneous emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical challenges that accompany these experiences. Rather than seeing you as a problem that needs to be fixed, we will tap into the wisdom you have gained through your lived experience. My goal is to help my clients find meaning and hope amidst suffering; experience greater awareness and psychological flexibility; and live in alignment with their deepest values.

I believe that when a patient comes to see a therapist, they often ask these questions. "Will I feel safe, will I be heard without judgment and can this unknown person be trusted?" The therapeutic relationship is the most profound, protected, and valuable asset created between the psychologist and the patient. I am in awe of my patients courage and their ability to trust, so that the issues grappled with can be explored and understood, and that ultimately they can begin to heal and grow in ways that are both needed and desired.

As a neuropsychologist, I conduct diagnostic evaluations for adolescents and adults. I use a series of tests to uncover underlying cognitive/thought patterns and emotions that may be contributing to difficulties in daily functioning. I am especially passionate about working with young adults who have been struggling for a while but have not yet identified a source of their concerns. My goals are to assist in the diagnosis of any underlying conditions, and to provide coping and management strategies to help set you up for success.
