Over 15 years of clinical work, most of it in high-acuity inpatient and outpatient settings, taught me something important: the clients who struggle most aren't struggling simply because they lack insight. They're struggling because no one has ever given them the right tools, in the right order, with enough structure to make those tools stick. That's what I built Blueprint around.

I specialize in the conditions that tend to get mishandled — ADHD, tic disorders, trauma, substance use, and body-focused repetitive behaviors like hair pulling and skin picking. These aren't areas I stumbled into. They're areas I chose deliberately, trained extensively in, and keep coming back to because the work is specific, the outcomes are measurable, and the people who need this kind of help often have nowhere else to go.

I also have personal lived experience with Tourette syndrome. I don't lead with that in every conversation, but I don't hide it either. For clients and families navigating tic disorders, it matters — not because shared experience replaces clinical skill, but because it shapes how I listen, what I notice, and how I talk about things that are genuinely hard to explain to someone who hasn't been there.

My approach is direct. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear if it isn't true, and I'm not going to spend six months exploring your childhood if what you need is a concrete plan for the next six weeks.

If you're a parent who has watched your son struggle through evaluations, diagnoses, and programs that never quite fit — I understand that exhaustion. If you're an adult who has spent years knowing something was wrong but never finding a framework that made sense of it — I understand that too. And if you're someone who has tried therapy before and walked away thinking it just wasn't for you — I'd ask you to consider that it might not have been the right kind of therapy.

Blueprint Therapy Services exists for people who are ready to do the work. I'm here to make sure that work actually goes somewhere.
