Great to meet you!

I am a clinical psychologist and licensed alcohol and drug counselor. I specialize in treating social anxiety and trauma, especially in neurodivergent teens and adults. Loneliness and social exhaustion cause despair because we are all made for love and community. Feeling disconnected can be unbearable. Addictions of all kinds frequently develop as a way to cope. I can treat anyone with these problems, but I would be an especially good match for those who know or suspect that their struggles may be related to late-identified autism, ADHD, or dyslexia.

My approach to therapy

I am unusual in two ways. First, I have spent decades helping neurodivergent teens and adults succeed in relationships, work, and academics. Second, I have a lot of experience working across cultures. It has become easy for me to adapt my approach to harmonize with those from other countries, particularly those whose first language isn't English.

What you can expect from me

I always do a free 15-minute call to see if we are a good match. In the first session, I gather information on your current situation, goals, and the obstacles you are experiencing. We will do screening to see whether you are high in autistic or ADHD traits and if so, in what ways. Then, we will collaborate to create a plan to remove blocks to your success.
