Great to meet you!

Welcome!

I work with adults and quirky teens that feel out of place in their environment, are neurodivergent, or just sense their brain is "spicier" than those around them.

I offer diagnostic evaluation, consults, ongoing psychotherapy, and multidisciplinary referrals to navigate life. My goal is for your mind to be seen and understood for its value, rather than labeled as an impairment and masked.

My approach to therapy

Almost 20 years ago, I started in the field as an oncology therapy intern where I saw firsthand the covalent bond of physical and psychological health. I learned early on that system integration is the key to healing; and it's a lesson I've carried with me. This concept is

imperative to the divergent mind given its linked medical conditions and experiences.

What you can expect from me

I don’t am lucky to have held roles in emergency medicine evaluation, primary care, substance abuse, residential/ inpatient care, including senior leadership.

Every step of the way, l've always been partial to the "odd ducks".
