Specialist’s Overview
I utilize a strength-based, client-centered approach, blending CBT and solution-focused techniques to help adults and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity discovery. My professional background—spanning acute inpatient care, university counseling, and specialized psychometric assessment—has provided me with deep expertise in managing crises, providing practical skills, and accurately understanding neurodiversity. I believe that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and I am committed to creating a space that is supportive, non-judgmental, and focused on your unique path to resilience. I specialize in working with adults, young adults, and older adults who are navigating life transitions, particularly those with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Autism. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you build practical skills for lasting change. Whether you are dealing with acute emotional distress or exploring your sense of self, our work together will be collaborative and focused on your individual goals and inherent strengths. Outside of the office, I am focused on unwinding through physical and mental challenges. You can find me hiking, fishing, cooking, or enjoying a good round of golf or a video game. I bring that same grounded, goal-oriented energy into our sessions to build a strong partnership focused on your healing and growth.
