If you are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and ADHD related challenges, I’m here to tell you that while your experiences may be uncomfortable, you are normal. Everyone has challenges. Criticizing yourself and pushing yourself harder may get you closer to where you want to go on the outside, but will leave you feeling even more empty and alone from the inside.
I will walk with you on your journey, whether you are navigating a significant life transition, healing from trauma, or looking to improve your self-worth. Maybe you are working on discovering your true purpose, or developing organizational skills to improve your quality of life.
With deep empathy, evidence-based support, and the proper guidance, you can learn to improve your executive function, organizational skills, and build your resilience. I am a therapist who prioritizes helping you feel more effective and confident at pursuing your goals, and living authentically.
I enjoy working with kids, teens, adults, and families. My primary areas of expertise include working with ADHD, life transitions, and anxiety-related challenges.
My approach is patient, supportive, and client-centered, which means we focus on your needs, rather than trying to figure out how you can please everyone else, or gain their approval. I value collaboration with my clients. Together we’ll explore and uncover your own wealth of inner resources and resilience.
Let’s create an environment that will nurture your personal growth, and get you on the road to living well.
