I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, focusing on the real-world challenges it creates from disorganization, difficulty following through, to strained relationships, and low self-esteem. Using CBT and Solution-Focused approaches, we build practical systems and strategies tailored to how your brain works. The goal is not to fight against ADHD but to work with it, building on your strengths to create routines and habits that actually stick.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles there is. I work with parents navigating behavioral concerns, communication struggles, and the stress of raising children through difficult seasons. Together we identify what is already working, strengthen your confidence, and develop practical strategies you can use at home. Whether you are parenting an adolescent, managing co-parenting dynamics, or simply feeling overwhelmed we can figure out what works for your family together.

Family conflict can leave everyone feeling unheard, exhausted, and stuck. I work with families and individuals navigating tension, communication breakdowns, and relationship strain using a collaborative, solution-focused lens. Rather than assigning blame, we focus on understanding each person's perspective and building communication strategies that create real change. The goal is a family that feels more connected, heard, and equipped to work through challenges together.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy centers on your strengths and what is already working rather than dwelling on what is wrong. Instead of spending sessions analyzing the past, we focus on where you want to go and what small steps will get you there. I will ask questions that help you uncover your own resources and build momentum toward your goals. It is practical, forward-moving, and often produces meaningful change faster than traditional approaches.

CBT is built on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When we identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, we create real change in how you feel and act. Sessions are structured and collaborative where we set goals, track progress, and practice skills you can use between appointments. CBT is one of the most researched therapeutic approaches available, with strong evidence across anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and more.
