Provider with caring, compassionate, and empathetic attitude in responding to the needs of clients. I work with adults seeking support with their health and path forward. My approach centers on patient-centered care, active listening, engagement, and partnership. I take time to understand what brings you in and create a plan tailored to your needs.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel like sitting across from someone who simply nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?” I’m Adrienne, and I bring warmth, honesty, and real conversation into the therapy room. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
