My journey into psychology began at the tender age of around seven. I remember my parents taking me to see a psychologist because I was showing signs of anxiety. While I can't recall much from those sessions, I do remember I liked Dr. Wheeler and we played catch a lot.

I returned to therapy during middle school when I was struggling academically and socially, leading my self-esteem to plummet. Though I can't pinpoint specific interventions, I knew it was beneficial. Throughout high school, I continued therapy and gained more insights with each session.

Despite ongoing struggles in school, the strategies from therapy helped me maintain respectable grades. I initially pursued psychology in college but got discouraged by a boring professor. I kept waiting for a sign until my post-college years, when I reconnected with my high school therapist. He suggested I get tested for ADHD, and the results were off the charts.

Hearing my diagnosis brought both relief and anger. It explained my academic challenges but also left me questioning why it wasn't caught sooner. This realization sparked my calling to become a psychologist, determined to prevent others from experiencing the same struggles.

My professional journey has allowed me to work with diverse clients, from children to adults, dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and various life issues. While I started with the intention of specializing in child psychology, I now primarily work with adolescents and adults.

My therapeutic approach is inspired by Walt Whitman (and Ted Lasso): "Be curious, not judgmental." I believe every decision, good or bad, stems from an unfulfilled need. By remaining curious, I help clients explore themselves without judgment, offering a safe space for growth and self-discovery.
