From 15 years of therapy practice with adults, couples, children, and adolescents, and my own experiences, I am convinced that change and healing are always possible.
Therapy should be a place where we can explore what might be standing in the way of feeling more alive and fulfilled in every area of our lives or relationships. We will use practical, action-oriented strategies.

Thanks to (better late than never) growing research on the ways that neurodivergence presents in girls/women and “high masking” individuals (i.e., those who have learned to compensate for these traits), many adults are now coming to recognize that they may, in fact, have undiagnosed Autism or ADHD.
A professional assessment and diagnosis of ADHD and/or Autism in adulthood can offer several benefits for those who suspect that they may be Neurodivergent including, but not limited to: better understanding of yourself and how you are wired, and learning how to work with your brain instead of against it!

Many of us experience emotional hardships and strains which affect our abilities to create and sustain satisfying connections, or feel like our strongest self. Our emotions can be affected by adjustments, grief and loss, traumas, physical illness, family distress, and life transitions which can have rippling effects across our multiple roles. Taking a step to connect with a trained counseling professional,with whom you feel a strong and safe fit, can be one way to feel support and better. Through individual, couples, and/or group therapy, or appropriate assessment, I hope to offer a range of psychological support.
