Introduction
I'm glad you're here and proud of you for stopping by. Take a seat, relax. Would you like some tea and a snack? You can't therapy if you're hungry. I specialize in working with ADHD, Autism, behavioral disorders, anxiety, and depression. Before becoming a counselor, I worked in Special Ed. and this combination of experience has helped me support clients struggling with school, work, parenting, and executive functioning. I understand relationships and parenting can be challenging and I enjoy supporting dads/husbands/partners through those journeys. I also offer education advocacy services to navigate school supports and services. I try to make therapy less like... therapy. Let's move around, get outside, play games, and do activities and have you leave with something concrete to support your growth. I combine a person-centered approach, incorporating CBT, ACT, experiential activities, and trauma-informed interventions to support meeting your goals. Everyone struggles sometimes - it's normal and it eventually ends. All of your emotions are valid, but they're not always appropriate. All of your thoughts are understandable, but they're not always accurate. Whatever you're struggling with right now, you're not alone. Let's navigate this part of your life as a team.
