Welcome to Fueling Your Brain Therapy

Most therapy bios say some version of "I use an eclectic, personalized approach." Here's what that actually means in my practice.

This isn't a menu I pick from at random — it's a structured framework I use to build a treatment approach specific to you, informed by clinical training and refined through direct practice consultation. 

Over 15+ years — across community mental health, school-based therapy, and private practice — I've deliberately built and refined an integrative framework rather than picking a single modality and applying it to everyone. I call it my Integrative Clinical Practice Framework, and it draws on six core theoretical orientations, applied in the combination each client actually needs:

• Person-Centered Therapy — the foundation of unconditional positive regard and a space where you don't have to perform wellness to be taken seriously
• Attachment Theory — understanding how early relational patterns still shape how you connect, trust, and self-regulate today
• Psychodynamic Theory — working with the unconscious patterns and history driving present-day behavior, not just the behavior itself
• Existential-Humanistic Theory — meaning, autonomy, and the harder questions high-achievers often outrun until they can't anymore
• Multicultural Theory — treatment that accounts for identity, culture, and context instead of a one-size-fits-all clinical lens
• Transpersonal Theory — space for the spiritual, the transcendent, and the parts of growth that don't fit neatly into a diagnostic manual 

This isn't a menu I pick from at random — it's a structured framework I use to build a treatment approach specific to you, informed by clinical training and refined through direct practice consultation. 

Anxiety, Depression & Executive Dysfunction — particularly in high-functioning adults whose external success can mask real internal struggle

ADHD in Adults — assessment, treatment, and the identity work that comes after a late diagnosis

Relationship & Attachment Patterns — how the past shows up in your present relationships, at work and at home

Shadow Work & Deeper Self-Inquiry — for clients ready to go past symptom management into pattern-level change (also the subject of my published journal, This Might Get Uncomfortable)
