Are you feeling overwhelmed? anxious? depressed? Is your mind racing and your body tense? Wonder why you can't just feel happy? Therapy looks a lot like a conversation with a good friend.

I get to listen carefully, reflect what I hear to make sure you feel understood, affirm and encourage your strengths, and ask questions to clarify or help you think more deeply ab...

In my private practice, I focus on counseling and treatment of problems and conditions related to ADHD, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive behavior as well as coupl...
