About Me

My mission is to advocate and empower individuals by highlighting their strengths and teaching them to work with who they are, rather than who they think they should be. I specialize as a psychotherapist in Adult ADHD, trauma, and their associated comorbidities. I am experienced in group counseling, couples counseling, and individual therapy to clients of varying ages, backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles, but I primarily work with adults. My life experiences have molded me into a stronger person and I help others take their experiences to do the same. I am also an individual with unique qualities, a sense of humor, and strengths that I have gained through my life transitions, all of which help inform my work as a therapist and my relationships. I have always been curious and interested in pushing the envelope. In my first career in the entertainment industry, I embraced divergent outlooks, subtle humor, and exploring different possibilities. These skills helped me make a smooth transition in the world of psychotherapy, and the only thing this transition changed for me was the medium in which I work. I am always up for taking on new challenges activities, and experiences, and I adore people who expand my horizons. I look forward to meeting new clients and to continue my growth.
