I believe quality mental health care starts with feeling heard and respected. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach and work to understand the whole person, not just symptoms. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while offering thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to each individual’s needs.
As someone who was diagnosed as neurodivergent later in life, I bring an empathetic, compassionate understanding of the unique experiences that can come with neurodivergence, including autistic burnout and sensory overwhelm.
In our work together, we’ll explore the sources of overwhelm and identify practical, sustainable strategies that support your individual needs. Together, we’ll develop manageable goals around task initiation, organization, and navigating daily life in ways that feel realistic and affirming—not overwhelming.
The world isn’t always designed with neurodivergent people in mind, and you don’t have to navigate those challenges alone. My goal is to provide a supportive, understanding space where we can work together to better understand your needs, build on your strengths, and find ways to move through life that feel more sustainable and authentic to you.
I believe people deserve to feel understood before they’re asked to change. My approach to therapy is direct and collaborative. I work primarily with men and couples who feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, defensiveness, or shutting down, and want to better understand themselves and the people they care about.
I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths and achieve goals. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger management, parenting and more.I received my undergraduate degree from Northern Illinois University and a graduate degree from National Louis University. Throughout my mental health career, I have worked in non-profit, youth development, crisis intervention, case management, and more.
