I specialize in the assessment and treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD) to also include the anxiety and depression that so often accompanies traumatic experiences.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly battling to focus? Does getting sidetracked on a regular basis make it difficult to stay productive and organized, despite your best efforts? These challenges can be frustrating and can significantly impact your daily life. If you find yourself relating to these experiences, you may be one of the estimated 5% of the population who lives with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Far more than simply having trouble concentrating, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can present significant challenges across various aspects of life. People with ADHD may struggle in work or academic settings due to difficulties with focus, organization, and time management. The impact of ADHD can also extend to personal relationships, as inattention and impulsivity can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or frustration for both the person with ADHD and their loved ones. Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD is the first step towards getting the support and resources you need. We have current availability and openings to provide ADHD testing, psychotherapy, and coaching.
Most people experience some form of stress, anxiety, overwhelm at some point in their lives. Persistent chronic stress in particular can lead to depression and even become traumatic. Many are seeing the advantage of talking to a professional to sort out their problems and also avoid overburdening their partner, family, and friends. Some issues are just easier to talk with a non-related third party. Therapy is a valuable opportunity to process through your thoughts and feeling and gain understanding of yourself, relationship problems, and family conflicts. I genuinely enjoy helping others work through their struggles and learn more about the roots of their current problems.
Managing life's various stressors can be overwhelming. This is especially true is you are also contending with mental health or substance use challenges. Therapy can be a useful tool for navigating challenging circumstances, exploring and processing your thoughts and emotions, and taking meaningful action that is consistent with your goals and values. It is an opportunity to tend to your emotional wellbeing within an environment characterized by understanding, compassion, and empathy.
I provide a structured approach to implementing proven therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Processing, Family/Marital, and Trauma-Focused psychotherapies that help clients take control of their thoughts, speech, and actions, and achieve the desired change. Regardless of their background, I encourage everyone to confront and overcome challenges, uncovering new opportunities for a positive outcome. With my support, I am committed to guiding you towards a transformative journey that promotes peace and contentment in your life.
