My approach is warm, direct, and deeply practical. I believe that people do their best when they understand themselves, feel supported, and have clear steps they can follow. I combine EMDR, Gottman Method, IFS-informed therapy, and mindfulness to help clients build emotional regulation, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and couples—especially those with ADHD or high-functioning autism—who often feel misunderstood, overstimulated, or stuck. I focus on reducing shame, strengthening self-awareness, and helping clients use their strengths to create meaningful change.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my structured guidance, compassionate honesty, and the way I make complex challenges feel manageable.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—what brings you in, what’s been challenging, and what you hope to change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your history, daily functioning, relationships, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. This helps me understand the full picture so I can support you effectively.

You can expect a warm, direct, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly. I’ll share initial impressions, outline how I can help, and begin identifying clear, manageable steps we can take together. If relevant, I may also discuss options like EMDR, mindfulness strategies, or ADHD assessment.

My goal in the first session is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful—with a sense of direction and what our work together will look like.
