Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Augsburg University and years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, and depression, with a focus on neurodivergent-affirming, strengths-based care. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or navigating life with a partner or child who has ADHD, I provide a warm, collaborative space where we can work together to build insight, practical strategies, and emotional resilience. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and helping you feel more understood, empowered, and in control.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), self-psychology, and strengths-based approaches, always with a focus on understanding the whole person—not just the symptoms. I specialize in working with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I create a supportive space where clients can explore what’s getting in the way, build practical tools, and reconnect with their strengths. Whether you're an individual, parent, or couple, I work alongside you to create meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can apply in everyday life. Together, we work toward goals like improving focus, managing overwhelm, reducing negative self-talk, and building stronger relationships. I create a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can be your full self—messy, curious, growing—and know that you're not alone. My goal is to help you feel more confident, clear, and connected, both during our work and far beyond it.
