Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and doctoral professor specializing in evidence-based psychotherapy for adolescents, college students, and young adults with ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, academic concerns, and co-occurring mood disorders. Drawing from advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), executive functioning interventions, and experience in integrated healthcare and university settings, I provide tailored, individualized care that promotes psychological flexibility and being an agent of change in your life.

My approach to therapy

I focus on bringing psychology into real-life practice and results through ACT. Treatment is individualized to help adolescents and young adults build psychological flexibility, strengthen executive functioning skills, and develop practical strategies for managing ADHD and mood concerns. Therapy emphasizes meaningful action, resilience, and long-term growth while creating a supportive environment where patients can develop their sense of self.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is designed to be active, purposeful, and results-oriented. Drawing from advanced training in ACT, executive functioning interventions, and evidence-based psychological treatment, I focus on helping patients achieve meaningful change as efficiently as possible. Together, we'll identify measurable goals, build practical skills, and track progress throughout treatment—so that improvements aren't just discussed, they're experienced in everyday life. The goal is for patients to leave each session with greater clarity, increased confidence, and tools they can immediately begin putting into practice.
