Great to meet you!

If anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or the strain of a chronic health condition or substance use has made it hard to feel like yourself, I want you to know you don't have to sort it out alone. I'm Ada, a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years in human services and 6 years in therapy, and I believe real growth starts with feeling heard, supported, and accepted. I'd love to help you get there.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I bring a collaborative, mindfulness-based approach, often drawing on CBT, trauma-focused CBT, and motivational interviewing depending on what serves you best. I ground sessions in your strengths, helping you build selfawareness, work through anxiety, ADHD, or trauma, and steady your emotional wellbeing so lasting change actually sticks.

What you can expect from me

Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous and worthwhile journey. You don't have to take this step alone. Together, we can create a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences, build on your strengths and work toward a greater sense of balance and fulfillment. I look forward to taking that journey with you.
