“I test/diagnose patients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide accurate cognitive profiles, diagnoses and treatment recommendations. I also provide therapy to those with neurodivergence who want to learn executive functioning and social skills while also learning how their neurodivergence may impact their mood and daily functioning. I adapt evidence-based protocols (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, MI) to become neurodivergent friendly and spend much time incorporating family members and also treating family members of a neurodivergent person to provide psychoeducation and guidance and help patients reduce masking and camouflaging. I also LOVE to work with patients going through the transition from high school to college. Developmentally this period of time is so vulnerable and I ensure patients have mood support, ADHD accommodations/skills, and coping skills for adjustment.”

“I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, overthinking, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I also work with women navigating the effects of past trauma, difficult relationships, and challenges with confidence, boundaries, and self-worth.”

“Adults seeking psychological testing (e.g., ADHD, autism); Adults with OCD”

“I work with adults who are used to holding a lot together, but feel overwhelmed beneath the surface. You may appear capable and high-functioning, yet internally feel anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and a constant pressure to “keep up” or get things right. There are often patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for others. You might find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like nothing you do is quite enough. Some clients are also navigating the impact of past experiences or relationship dynamics that continue to shape how they feel about themselves and others.”

“I work with adults who are burned out, grieving, anxious, overwhelmed, or carrying more than they can keep holding alone. Many of my clients are healthcare providers, therapists, caregivers, and helping professionals navigating emotional labor, workplace stress, ethical tension, trauma exposure, pet loss, life transitions, and the exhaustion of always pushing through. I also recognize that stress does not happen in a vacuum. Workplaces, systems, family roles, culture, caregiving demands, and financial pressure can all shape what people are carrying.”

“I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Many of my clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD or executive-functioning difficulties, life transitions, relationship concerns, or questions involving identity, purpose, and personal growth. I also work with college students, young adults, athletes, executives, and other professionals seeking improved resilience, focus, confidence, and performance under pressure. My clients are often thoughtful, motivated, and looking to better understand themselves and find greater purpose as they make meaningful changes in their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but privately struggling with stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. I frequently work with those who are driven and capable, yet find themselves dealing with burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty sustaining focus and momentum. These individuals often want not just symptom relief, but a deeper understanding of how to perform—and live—at their best.”

“I provide patient-centered, evidence-based care with a focus on accessibility, prevention, and long-term wellness. My approach is collaborative and supportive, ensuring that each patient feels heard, informed, and actively involved in their care. I prioritize clear communication and practical treatment plans that fit each individual’s lifestyle and health goals. Clients I Work With I work with adult patients seeking comprehensive primary care, acute care management, and chronic disease support. This includes individuals managing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and infectious diseases, as well as those looking to improve overall health through preventive care and wellness strategies. I also support patients through telehealth services, offering convenient and timely access to care.”

“I support adults who feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed—often high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together at work and in life. Many are natural caregivers and people-pleasers who take on a lot for others, leaving little time or energy for themselves. Over time, this can show up as physical symptoms like heart palpitations and sleep difficulties, as well as irritability, anger, and strain in relationships.”

“(I completed 2 years of my MD in a 6 yr Honors BS-MD program. I was ranked on top of my class & was removed by religious leaders because I was not fulfilling my appropriate "gender role duties" at the time.) I practiced medicine as an air force doctor's assistant role and so, by default many of my referrals come from area doctors who have come to trust my clinical judgement with regards to basic medical suggestions. I work with anxiety cluster disorders, parenting challenges, high achievers, trauma survivors, some forensic encounters particularly with children, etc.”
