Meet Your Therapist

Helping You Thrive:

As your therapist, I’m here to offer compassionate guidance and support every step of the way. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and authentically. Whether you’re navigating daily challenges, relationship dynamics, or seeking deeper personal growth, we’ll work together to find pathways that nurture your strengths and enhance your well-being.

My Approach:

My therapeutic approach is integrative, offering a flexible, personalized experience for each client. Through a holistic lens, I aim to understand your background, leveraging your strengths for a unique and transformative journey. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly and authentically. 

I also specialize in ADHD and ASD, addressing symptoms such as rejection-sensitive dysphoria, executive dysfunction, and time blindness. 

Lived Experience:

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I am passionate about helping others learn to thrive, not just survive, with ADHD. I'm also dedicated to raising awareness and fighting the stigma surrounding the diagnosis, particularly the gender disparity in ADHD that often leaves females undertreated, underdiagnosed, and misdiagnosed with other disorders. 

Beyond the Session:

In my free time, you'll find me enjoying the outdoors, from dirt biking to scuba diving. Or enjoying the indoors, through crafting, 3D printing, or playing video games accompanied by my cat.

You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and understood. Therapy can help you move forward with clarity and confidence. If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to schedule a free consultation so we can connect!

Helpful Terminology

Therapist, Counselor, Psychotherapist: What's the Difference?

These terms are often used interchangeably to describe a professional who provides talk therapy. While there can be subtle differences in training and approach, for most clients, these roles are functionally similar. My goal is to help you navigate this process with clear information and supportive guidance. My role as a therapist is to provide counseling and clinical interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to support you on your journey toward better mental health.

Other Mental Health Care Professionals:

It's also important to understand the different roles within the broader mental health field.

• Psychologists typically focus on psychological testing, assessment, and research. Their training allows them to conduct comprehensive evaluations to diagnose complex conditions like ADHD, ASD, or learning disabilities. Many also provide individual and group therapy.

• Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can evaluate and diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. They generally do not provide ongoing talk therapy, instead often working in collaboration with therapists like me.

• Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW's) are trained to provide talk therapy, and their scope of practice often extends to include case management and advocacy, such as connecting them with community resources, housing assistance, or navigating the healthcare system.
