She specializes in ADHD, executive functioning concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and substance use disorders, including alcohol, opioid, stimulant, cannabis, and polysubstance use. Care is collaborative, individualized, evidence-based, and focused on helping clients better understand symptoms, improve daily functioning, and achieve long-term stability and wellness.
