About
My ideal clients are children, teens, and adults with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, depression, or neurodivergent traits who feel capable but struggle to follow through, regulate emotions, or feel confident. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated. They may have difficulty with focus, motivation, impulse control, or emotional regulation. Parents often seek support for a bright child struggling behaviorally, socially, or academically. Teens and adults report overthinking, low self-esteem, lack of direction, or feeling “behind” despite their potential. I help clients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and executive functioning build self-awareness, confidence, and self-control. Using CBT and practical strategies, I teach emotional regulation, focus, and follow-through. For youth, I use interactive role-play to build real-world social and problem-solving skills. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not living up to your potential, you are not alone. Many capable people struggle in silence. Change is possible with the right support and tools. When you are ready, I invite you to take that next step toward a more confident, stable, and fulfilling life. Specialties: I work with clients experiencing any number of life struggles, such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, family conflict, relationship problems, or suicidal ideation. Together, we define who you are at this very moment in time. Then we uncover who you desire to be. Finally, we create an individualized plan to achieve that desired outcome. My role is love, support, and holding you accountable. Credentials & Experience: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience supporting children, teens, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, and emotional regulation. I specialize in helping neurodivergent clients build confidence, connection, and practical coping skills.
"I use CBT and existential therapy in structured, practical sessions focused on real-world change. You will build self-awareness, confidence, and self-control while learning tools for emotional regulation, focus, and follow-through in a supportive, collaborative environment."
