Great to meet you!

My commitment to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their challenges and strengths sets my practice apart. I believe in a holistic approach, incorporating behavioral therapeutic interventions and practical strategies to foster long-term success. Whether working with children, adolescents, or adults, I’m dedicated to helping individuals with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) build confidence, improve behavior, and lead fulfilling lives. If you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, ASD, ADHD, or behavioral challenges, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can develop a strategey to support you in overcoming obstacles and achieving meaningful change.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to understand and address the presenting challenges. My style is warm, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to create a non-judgmental space for clients. I take a client-centered behavioral approach, tailoring my methods and interventions to fit the unique needs of everyone. Every person is different, so I work closely with clients to identify their goals and preferences, ensuring the therapeutic process feels relevant and practical. Whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult, I adjust my communication and interventions to match your developmental stage and personal needs.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients who work with me can expect a supportive, structured, and collaborative environment that fosters growth, healing, and empowerment. I aim to help you build the understanding, skills, and strategies necessary to overcome challenges and create a life worth living.
