Professional statement

Many adults seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense — even though they appear to be managing on the outside. Anxiety, mood instability, attention difficulties, substance use, and major life transitions often overlap and shift over time, making it hard to know what to address first.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, addictions (including alcohol, drugs, and food), bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. With over 30 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addictions Specialist, I understand how these challenges intersect and how deeply they can affect work, relationships, identity, and self-trust.

My approach is thoughtful, direct, and grounded. I focus on understanding underlying patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and helping clients make practical changes that support stability and follow-through. Therapy is collaborative and active, with attention to both insight and real-world application.

Clients often appreciate that sessions are structured without being rigid, supportive without being vague, and focused on meaningful change rather than just talking things through.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer structured, parent-focused executive functioning coaching for families with teens (ages 13–18) who have ADHD. This short-term, self-pay service is designed to help parents reduce conflict at home and support functioning at school. More information is available on my website.


Message to clients

Taking the step to seek counseling can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to ensure you feel welcomed, understood, and encouraged from the very start. As a seasoned therapist, I take an integrative and collaborative approach, helping you identify and achieve the goals that matter most to you. You decide the focus of our work, and together, we explore the best strategies to help you move forward.

Through thought-provoking questions and insightful analogies, I help you gain a new perspective on your challenges, uncover solutions that work for you, and develop tools for lasting change.

I offer therapy through insurance as well as short-term, structured therapy tracks available on a self-pay basis. Insurance-based work is ongoing and paced according to clinical need. Self-pay options are intentionally structured and time-limited, with the option to continue longer-term if additional support is needed. These self-pay tracks are a good fit for adults seeking focused work around ADHD/executive functioning, burnout, or major life transitions.

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what you’re looking for and decide which option is the best fit.
