ABOUT THE THERAPIST

Compassionate, strengths-based therapy for individuals and couples navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and/ or relationship challenges.

My Approach to Helping:

I offer a warm, supportive space where individuals and couples can pause, reflect, and feel truly seen. My approach is collaborative and grounded in empathy, helping clients build insight, develop practical tools, and move through stuck patterns—whether internal or relational. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, psychodynamic theory, and trauma-informed care, always adapting to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. I bring a strengths-based lens to all my work, affirming identity, honoring difference, and creating space for growth.

Specific Issues I'm Skilled at Helping With:

I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals from middle school through adulthood, supporting challenges related to ADHD, executive function, anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, and relationships. With over a decade of experience working in schools, college settings, and private practice, I help clients better understand how their minds work, reduce shame, and build strategies for success and self-compassion.

I also work with couples at all stages—dating, pre-marital, long-term partnerships, and those navigating disconnection or change. I help partners communicate more effectively, reconnect emotionally, and move through conflict with greater understanding. Whether both partners are neurotypical, one or both are neurodivergent, or you're navigating cultural or communication differences, I create a space where each person feels heard and supported.

 

My Role as a Therapist:

As a therapist, I strive to be a thoughtful, nonjudgmental guide—someone who brings compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I meet clients where they are, helping them identify what’s getting in the way and what might bring more ease, clarity, or connection. My background as both a Speech-Language Pathologist and Licensed Social Worker gives me a unique perspective on communication, emotional regulation, and how we relate to ourselves and others—especially in the context of neurodiversity and executive functioning.

Additional Information About my Practice:

In addition to individual and couples therapy, I offer executive function coaching, school consultations, and parent support. I’ve run group therapy programs for college students and emerging adults, supported adolescents in school and home environments, and helped families navigate transitions with greater clarity and confidence.

I also bring experience from nonprofit leadership and board service, where I’ve supported teams with conflict resolution, personality dynamics, and leadership development. Across all settings, I use a social justice lens—recognizing the broader systems that impact mental health and identity—and aim to help clients feel both empowered and supported within those realities.
