About me
I'm a psychologist with over 20 years experience helping people navigate challenging times in their lives & learning new skills to improve in numerous areas. I use a highly interactive approach & a fair amount of humor. I am compassionate, but I do not let people stew in misery & will provide honest feedback about damaging patterns in thinking and behavior. I enjoy working with people who are excited to make a change, even if it is a little scary or overwhelming. I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider, and I especially like helping adults explore the question "do I have ADHD?". I have a history of working with a number of people who are experiencing challenges in relationships (spouse, parent, friend) that make them ask the question "Am I in a relationship with a narcissist?" I think the fit between a therapist and a client is crucial to doing good work together, so I encourage people to meet with me for an initial session to determine if they're comfortable, and I also let them know if I think I'm the best possible option or if another style or type of treatment is a better idea. Feel free to text or email me to set up a first session, or we can chat by phone if that's more your style.
