About My Clients

My ideal clients are families and individuals who feel stuck in the noise of ADHD, anxiety, or life transitions. I serve those navigating the complexities of neurodiversity (AS, BPD, Bipolar), and relationship challenges. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child or a person looking for a non-judgmental "listening ear," I provide a grounded space to heal. True happiness isn’t something you chase; it’s what we build together when you’re ready for change.

My Background and Approach

With a Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia and over three years of clinical experience, I provide a professional foundation you can trust. My background isn’t just about degrees; it’s about translating clinical expertise into "listening" that helps you feel seen and supported. I specialize in areas that often feel overwhelming, connecting my skills directly to your progress: Neurodiversity & Mood Disorders: Whether navigating ADHD, Asperger’s, Bipolar Disorder, or BPD, I help you move past the "noise" of a diagnosis to find functional, daily stability. Navigating Transitions: From career counseling to relationship issues like infidelity or codependency, I provide the tools to rebuild your boundaries and confidence. By integrating testing, evaluation, and compassionate advocacy, I help families and individuals stop "chasing" happiness and instead build a life where it can naturally flourish.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value the courage it takes to seek help, and I am committed to providing a space where families and individuals—especially those navigating the complexities of ADHD, ASD, or Bipolar Disorder—feel truly understood rather than just diagnosed. I am deeply passionate about supporting neurodiversity and advocating for mental health equity across Men’s and Women’s issues.
