Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience across social work, medical settings, hospice, and community practice, and a therapist who came back to clinical work with a depth of human experience most practitioners don't have. I specialize in ADHD, attachment, anxiety, and relational repair for adults.

I work with individuals navigating late or recent ADHD diagnoses, midlife women who are finally getting answers, and adults whose early experiences have made it hard to feel safe or connected in relationships.

I accept Medicare in Arizona and Oregon, and most major insurances through Headway. Individual therapy sessions are available through insurance. Couples therapy and intensives are private pay only.

I am a woman with ADHD myself, diagnosed at 56. That lived experience shapes everything about how I work.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative and relationaI. I pull from whatever actually works for you. I am trained in Brainspotting through Level IV, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, somatic experiencing, MBSR mindfulness, and HeartMath.

For adults with ADHD I combine clinical therapy with coaching strategies. For trauma I use Brainspotting, which works with the brain-body connection rather than just talk. I am direct and warm in sessions. We will actually work.

What you can expect from me

A real conversation, not just an intake form read back to you. You will leave with a clearer sense of what we are working with and how we approach it together. Most clients feel both seen and gently challenged from the start.
