I'm a Headway therapist with over 30 years of clinical and case management social work. I would like to understand and determine what therapy can do to support you. If you are struggle with adult ADHD challenges- organizing responsibilities, finishing tasks on time, or just feeling stuck. And if you are looking for ways to cope and feel better, I can help.
My approach to working with clients is practical and strength-based. The therapy I use is CBT Integrative Therapy (CIT). CIT combines psychotherapy, or talk therapy, with activities that clients practice at home in between therapy sessions called intra-session work.
Our Headway virtual sessions are clinical cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapy sessions. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns and establish your therapy goals. The intra-session work are evidence-based CBT techniques integrated into a specialized daily routine of eight action-oriented, skills-building habits that you will practice at home between our Headway sessions.
CIT is designed to create real, tangible improvements in your daily life by redirecting motivation, strengthening executive function, and helping you regulate your emotions and behaviors. The focus is not simply on understanding what is happening, but on learning what you can do differently and practicing those skills consistently. It's not a generic plan, but an individualized process you own.
My goal is to help you build a mental health skills toolkit that goes with because the therapy progress doesn't stop when our session ends.
Before we begin, find a comfortable, private spot, silence your phone, and bring your favorite drink, I'll have my black coffee. We'll start with a genuine get-to-know-you conversation, because I want to understand you as a whole person- your strengths and your challenges, before anything else. I'll ask what brought you to therapy, and then I'll mostly listen. We'll also cover the practical side: how treatment works, confidentiality, policies, and any questions you have. By the time we sign off, you'll have a clear summary of what we discussed, your first intra-session assignment, and a concrete sense of what comes next at our following Headway therapy session.
