I specialize in ADHD, neurodivergence, autism spectrum, self-esteem, confidence, and executive functioning challenges, helping people better understand how their minds work and develop strategies that set them up for success. Growing up, I was surrounded by highly successful individuals who thought differently due to ADHD. As someone who has experienced similar challenges, I understand both the struggles and strengths that come with it. APPROACH My approach is direct, practical, and goal-oriented. • I use Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what’s already working and help you build on your strengths. • Motivational Interviewing allows us to explore what truly drives you, so we can create change that feels natural and sustainable. • With Systemic Therapy, we look at how your environment—work, relationships, routines—shapes your challenges and how small adjustments can lead to big improvements. Many of my clients feel stuck—struggling with self-doubt, follow-through, and communication issues that impact relationships, career growth, and confidence. My goal is to help you break that cycle, build self-trust, and create practical systems that work with your brain, not against it. MY BACKGROUND My background includes private practice, group therapy, large-scale mental health programs, and training mental health leaders in coaching and strengths-based therapy. I’ve also built outcome-tracking systems for people in unstable situations—including those without phones, housing, or coping skills—and in the Philippines, where we worked without computers or a library. Beyond therapy, I have extensive experience in employment advocacy, having served as a union officer and EEOC investigator. I understand workplace challenges, career struggles, and professional communication—insight that helps clients navigate work environments with more confidence. I’m trained in Trauma-Informed Care, Psychoanalysis, CBT, and MBCT and certified in EMDR, but I focus on helping people build confidence, improve communication, and develop sustainable systems that make life easier. WHAT TO EXPECT Therapy with me feels more like coaching, with a flow focused on curiosity, observation, and tracking progress. Instead of just talking, we’ll build practical systems to make growth easier and more engaging. • Boost Self-Awareness & Confidence – Learn to recognize how your thought patterns impact decision-making, habits, and self-perception. • Set Flexible Goals – Use data-driven insights to build motivation, improve focus, and create supportive environments. • Develop Effective Communication & Productivity Strategies – We'll create simple, effective systems that improve how you express yourself, manage responsibilities, and stay on track. • Build Better Habits & Supports – Automate routines and design an environment that reduces friction and increases success. • Reframe Challenges & Strengths – You don’t need to fight against how your brain works—you need strategies that help you use it to your advantage. I work primarily with adults and teens with ADHD, focusing on executive function, motivation, and real-world strategies that create lasting change.
