I work with non-linear thinkers who are searching for a therapist with intuitive wisdom who cherishes the divergent path. I specializes in connecting with ADHDers who have always felt different even if others couldn't tell. My clients are notoriously curious and adept improvisors, who are playfully creative, but they still feel perpetually out-of-sync with the world around them. They charm others with their insight and levity, and save the biting criticisms for themselves. So they end up feel...
Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, burnout and grief can be debilitating. The hardest part is taking the first step and asking for “help.” Most of us like to think of ourselves as independent, competent and “tough.” Asking for help and attending therapy doesn’t mean that we are not those things. At some point in life, we all struggle with painful emotions and intrusive thoughts. You are not just another appointment on the schedule and my goal is to build a ...

Individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and facing personal and relationship problems, legal issues and school/work related difficulties deserve clinical flexibility as...

My hope for clients is to not merely function but to thrive! I don't want you to forgive and forget your traumas. I want you to own them and break the shame that keeps you shut down.

Well-being looks different for every person, so my approach to working with clients is focused on identifying what living a full and meaningful life might uniquely look like for you and partnering with you to get there together. This means embracing unique and personalized approaches to self-care and coping with life’s stressors, rather than listening to what media, culture, or other people with authority might tell us this should look like. As a therapist, I believe in taking a client-center...

I work with children, teens, and adults across the lifespan to build self-esteem and confidence, so that you can feel happier and less stressed.
