My 15 years of working with students and parents have given me a deep and personal understanding of how an ADHD or executive dysfunction (EF) diagnosis affects all aspects of a student's life. As a Certified Coach, there is nothing more satisfying to me than to see a student's self-esteem rise as he or she develops skills to overcome tremendous obstacles such as difficulty focusing, procrastination, disorganization, or the inability to set priorities. I am especially proud of my students who, as their confidence grew, became comfortable being their own advocate -- and the pride they felt at achieving such a major accomplishment!

When given the opportunity to experience the visions, dreams and pain we enter the sacred. We are involved with forces whose energies are greater than our own.

Accepting New Clients I have a passion for helping people feel better. I offer a warm, empathic, nonjudgmental approach to treating my clients & always start where my client is at. I am client centered & recognize that every person is unique. Clients have often told me that they feel comfortable opening up to me as they find me down to earth & relatable. You are in charge of your therapy. In other words, if you need me to give you guidance I can. If you need me to be a sounding board, I will. If you need pure emotional support I will provide that for you, and if you need constructive problem solving we can work on that together.
