Our brains are wired differently and we are each unique. This brings up a lot of challenges in life, school, work, relationships, and parenting. I use a strength-based approach and a Neurodivergent-affirming lens when working with clients.
I specialize in supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community who are navigating addiction and substance use concerns. Understanding the intersectionality of identity and addiction, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their relationship with substances and work towards healing and recovery. Using a personalized approach, I incorporate evidence-based interventions to address underlying issues and develop effective coping strategies. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of addiction, empowering you to reclaim control over your life and find lasting joy and fulfillment.
Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts and feelings and provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to combat overwhelming emotions.
Things can get better when you work with a therapist. We will help you develop insight into your thinking patterns to eliminate critical thoughts and promote a positive mindset.

I have a specialty in helping adults with ADHD manage all aspects of their lives and turn some of their symptoms into positives. We'll use a variety of effective and proven techniques. I also work with girls and women whose ADHD was initially overlooked or undiagnosed. You'll learn to work with your symptoms to make them advantages rather than drawbacks.
I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and family (i.e. parents, spouses/partners, etc.) who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Depending on your specific challenges, we will discover what accommodations may be helpful in your life and create a plan to help you best reach your goals.
NeuroSpark Health specializes in virtual adult ADHD assessment. We also offer other ND-affirming support services, including therapy, coaching, group support, and academic and occupational accommodations.
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents with ADHD both in outpatient mental health settings and in school based settings. I believe that every child has inner strengths and no child wants to struggle with following directions, their focus, remaining on task or organized, making friends, or with controlling overwhelming emotions. I help children and teens to uncover their inner resources and strengths in order to move them towards independence, peace, and happiness. I use CBT interventions to help my clients learn concrete strategies that lead to positive behavior changes, and to alter negative self-talk that leads to low-self esteem. I also incorporate Play Therapy and Expressive Art Therapy interventions to help improve my clients social skills and to help them work through feelings of depression and anxiety.
