Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed therapist with a BSW and MSW from the University of Oklahoma. I specialize in couples and sex therapy and provide ADHD coaching for adults who want practical tools without shame. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, with space for humor and genuine connection.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth, with space for humor and genuine connection. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and attachment-based and strengths-focused interventions, tailoring each session to your goals, values, and nervous system. Together, we focus on insight and practical tools that support meaningful, sustainable change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a low-pressure space to get to know each other, discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, and clarify what you’d like help with. We’ll talk about your history, current stressors, and hopes for therapy, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and collaboration.
