Great to meet you!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of experience working with a wide range of clients. I have worked with children at schools, government emergency shelters, and agencies; as well as working with adults who are young, middle aged, and elderly. My areas of specialty include ADHD, specifically people who have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult rather than as child; and helping men improve their confidence in a healthy manner.

My approach to therapy

I tend to pull my therapeutic approach from different theories in order to mold my approach to best fit each client. I like to help client's identify their negative self beliefs, and help them identify how to challenge those negative thoughts. I enjoy finding creative coping skills clients can use to reduce their stressors.

What you can expect from me

After the first session, clients will leave feeling they have a therapist who cares about establishing a positive working relationship with them. My goal is to create an environment that feels safe and allows clients to work towards their goals at their own pace.
