You may know exactly what needs to get done and still struggle to begin, stay organized, regulate your emotions, or follow through. These challenges can affect more than productivity. They can change how you feel about yourself and create stress within your closest relationships.

I specialize in ADHD and executive functioning, helping clients build practical skills for focus, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through. I also provide parent coaching for caregivers who want to better understand their child, reduce conflict, and create a calmer, more connected home. For couples, I offer therapy and focused intensives to help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and reconnect.

My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in genuine collaboration. I draw from narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you better understand your story, clarify what matters to you, and make changes that feel both meaningful and realistic.

• Experience

  I believe it’s important to keep growing as a therapist and continually expanding the ways I support clients. Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of concerns, which has deepened my ability to meet each client where they are.

  My clinical experience includes providing executive function coaching and parent coaching for ADHD, where I help families build practical tools for focus, organization, and emotional regulation. I am also passionate about working with the neurodivergent community, and I’ve created spaces like a therapeutic gaming group to help clients connect, grow social skills, and experience a sense of belonging in ways that feel natural and fun.

  In addition, I specialize in couples therapy intensives, where partners can step away from daily distractions and devote focused time to strengthening their relationship. These extended sessions create space for meaningful progress in communication, intimacy, and trust.

  Together, these experiences reflect my commitment to offering therapy that is supportive, creative, and transformative. Helping individuals, parents, and couples create lasting change in their lives and relationships.
