Great to meet you!

Have you ever felt like your mind never truly slows down? Maybe you're constantly overthinking conversations, creating endless to-do lists, or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities that seem easy for everyone else. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, questioning whether you're doing enough, or feeling frustrated that no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to quiet your thoughts. For many women, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and stress can leave them feeling exhausted, disconnected, and constantly trying to keep up.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with women navigating ADHD, ADD, OCD, anxiety, and chronic stress. Together, we'll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building practical strategies to help you feel more organized, grounded, and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative and individualized, helping you better understand how your mind works so you can move away from self-criticism and toward self-compassion.

What you can expect from me

Therapy is not about becoming a different person—it's about learning how to work with yourself instead of against yourself. Whether you're managing intrusive thoughts, struggling with focus and executive functioning, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, I strive to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.
