Welcome

Welcome.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. I have worked in various community mental health settings, including as a clinical director for a nonprofit serving youth and families. Prior to becoming a licensed therapist in 2018, I gained experience in the educational system as an elementary school teacher and an English as a second language instructor. I am especially passionate about supporting students and adults with ADHD and parents raising children with ADHD. I often share that I am a parent myself and have been married for almost twenty years, so I understand that life is less about getting everything right and more about learning, adjusting, and having compassion for ourselves along the way. I have seen how we can carry shame or feel like we are “doing life wrong,” when really we just need a supportive space to slow down, process, and learn new tools.

Our work together may be a combination of exploring emotions and building practical strategies you can use in your everyday life. Because my approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we’ll often look at patterns—how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact—and then experiment with strategies that can help you feel more balanced and confident. If you find it helpful, I also incorporate mindfulness practices for grounding, reducing stress, and managing the overwhelm that often comes with having ADHD. These strategies can be a way to recenter daily and serve as a guiding light for resilience to grow from the deepest of pain. For over twenty years, I have journeyed through guided meditations, breath work, yoga, qigong, and currently participate daily in Transcendental Meditation.

If you think this approach sounds helpful to you, I would be glad to help. Feel free to visit my Contact Page!
