Great to meet you!

I specialize in: ADHD, ASD, OCD, (neurodivergent), trauma, PTSD, chemical & behavioral addictions, as well as impulse control disorders.

My approach to therapy

The therapy model is specific to the symptoms one is experiencing in relation to diagnosis. For example, MI for chemical addictions, HRT for behavioral addictions, CBT for ADHD, REBT, polyvagal for OCD, etc. The treatment modality is dependent upon individual specific needs. Each person has their own unique journey to recovery, in terms of what will or will not work for them, & their set frequency.

What you can expect from me

I am focused on helping you live your best life, mentally, physically, spiritually, and culturally, to have a deeper connection with those around you. Why continue down the same path, only to yield the same results? Allow yourself the opportunity to heal, love, and grow.

Having the right therapist makes all the difference, when it comes to either being re-traumatized and regressing, or cognitively processing events. Experience merits a level of expertise that cannot compare to books.
