Great to meet you!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Book a FREE 15-minute consult today! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) & Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with over 17 years of experience in mental health. My work is rooted in compassion, practicality, and a belief that therapy should be an empowering journey—not a lifelong commitment. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who experience ADHD, chronic illness & mind-body disconnect. I also integrate mental health and nutrition into my approach and provide grief-informed care.

I want you to know that therapy is a safe space where you can be yourself. There’s no judgment here—just a commitment to helping you feel more in control of your life and well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and action-oriented. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method—I tailor my approach to what works best for each individual. I blend traditional therapy techniques with holistic, practical strategies that you can use in your everyday life.

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed approaches to help you build resilience, find balance, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I also incorporate regulated movement techniques into sessions to help you develop skills for managing stress in real time.

What you can expect from me

✔ Practical tools to manage ADHD symptoms, stress, anxiety, and life transitions

✔ A greater sense of clarity and control over their emotions

✔ Actionable strategies for moving forward and making meaningful changes

✔ A deeper understanding of your own strengths and resilience

✔ A safe, supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, and challenges without judgment

I want you to feel empowered, capable, & in control of your mental well-being. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about building the skills and confidence to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
