Motivational Interviewing to clarify what truly drives you. Systems-Based Strategies to adjust routines, environments, and communication for immediate, better outcomes. Many clients come to me feeling stuck—struggling with follow-through, confidence, or communication at work and in relationships. Together, we focus on breaking that cycle and building systems that make progress easier and more sustainable. WHAT TO EXPECT Therapy with me often feels more like active coaching. We focus on observation, experimentation, and momentum. Through our work, you can expect to: Improve self-awareness and rebuild core confidence. Set flexible, realistic goals that actually stick. Build simple, tailored systems for productivity and clearer communication. Reduce daily friction and dramatically increase follow-through. Learn to use exactly how your brain works to your advantage. I work primarily with adults with ADHD, with a strong focus on executive functioning and real-world strategies. BACKGROUND & EXPERTISE My diverse background spans private practice, group therapy, and large-scale mental health program leadership. In addition to my clinical work and therapist mentorship, I have a strong foundation in leadership training and employment advocacy (including union leadership and EEOC investigation). While I am trained in multiple advanced modalities—including trauma-informed care, ACT, CBT, MBCT, and EMDR—my approach always remains practical, focused, and results-driven.
