With 20+ years of experience, I help adults, teens, and couples navigate ADHD, OCD, addiction, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting women through postpartum and caregiving challenges, and offer a space that’s compassionate, practical, and judgment-free—with a little humor when it helps. My approach draws from CBT, I-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Family Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for change, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward.
