LCSW, LICSW

As a therapist who lives with ADHD, I understand firsthand what it feels like to struggle academically, to feel overwhelmed by school systems, and to navigate a world that isn't always built for neurodivergent brains. Because of my own journey, I don’t look at your child or your family through a textbook lens—I look at you with genuine, lived empathy. There is absolutely no judgment in my session room. Second, I don’t position myself as the "all-knowing expert" who is here to fix your family. Instead, I view our work as a true partnership. I walk right alongside you and collaborate with your family to find highly creative, customized solutions that fit your real, daily life. You are the expert on yourself, your child and your family while I can tailor, interventions, routines and resources, and educate on school systems, learning disabilities and solutions that can help you and your family thrive. We will work together as a team to address: School & Academic Struggles: Finding alternative organizational hacks, tackling school anxiety, and navigating IEP supports. Home Routines & Conflict: Reducing daily friction, cooling down big behavioral outbursts, and restoring peace to your household. Major Life Transitions: Helping your child or teenager adapt to moves, family changes, new cultures, coming out or new school environments. Neurodivergent Family Dynamics: Helping you understand how your child's brain works so you can parent with more confidence and less exhaustion. Every child and household is unique. Together, we will skip the rigid, one-size-fits-all advice and build practical tools that actually work for your family's specific dynamic. Lo más importante que debe saber sobre trabajar conmigo es que soy un terapeuta que vive con TDAH. Entiendo de primera mano lo que es tener dificultades en la escuela, sentirse abrumado por el sistema educativo y navegar por un mundo que no siempre está diseñado para cerebros no tipico. Debido a mi propia experiencia, no veo a su hijo ni a su familia a través de la lente de un libro de texto, sino con una empatía real y vivida. En mis sesiones no existe ningún tipo de juicio. Además, no me presento como el experto que viene a arreglar a su familia. Al contrario, veo nuestro trabajo como una verdadera colaboración. Yo camino junto a usted y me asocio con su familia para encontrar soluciones creativas y personalizadas que se adapten a su vida diaria real. Trabajaremos en equipo para abordar problemas escolares y académicos, conflictos y rutinas en el hogar, transiciones importantes de la vida, empezando en un nuevo país y las dinámicas familiares relacionadas con cerebros diversos. Cada niño y cada hogar son únicos. Juntos, dejaremos de lado los consejos rígidos de siempre para construir herramientas prácticas que realmente funcionen para la dinámica específica de su familia.
