About

A client once spent most of our first session apologizing for being 'all over the place,' then stopped, looked up, and said, 'You are still here.' I think about that a lot. Yes. Still here. Distractibility is my specialty, and I treat it as information rather than misbehavior; where your attention keeps going tells us what your life is asking for. The methods are cognitive behavioral, but the spirit is experimental: try, notice, adjust, repeat. Most people feel a first shift sooner than they expect. I spent years in hospital day programs before private practice, and that is where my optimism got load-tested and held. I bring real momentum into the room; expect energy, not murmuring. I am cheerfully unfiltered, so you will get my honest read every time, delivered like a teammate rather than a judge. Things can improve faster than you think. When you want a running start, message me.
