Great to meet you!

Specializing for 15 years with children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with ADHD, Autism or display neurodivergent behaviors. If your concerns include struggling to regulate emotions, anxiety, low self esteem, constant overthinking, difficulty transitioning in normal day to day activities or managing overall personal everyday stressors- together we can identify the causes/triggers and how to gain control in those moments of feeling overwhelmed.

My approach to therapy

In addition to traditional talk therapy using CBT/REBT methods, I provide different forms of therapeutic tools such as worksheets and exercises, journal prompts, coping skills, etc. Week to week, I will continue to gain perspective into what you need to achieve in your specific therapy goals, so you can achieve a more peaceful life you deserve.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will want to learn about what brought you to meet with me and we will discuss your goals. I am naturally kind, empathetic and genuine but also forward with pointing out noticeable habits and behaviors that may be the roadblock holding you back from what you want to see different in your life.
