Great to meet you!

Do you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed trying to manage day-to-day life? You might feel scattered, stuck in your thoughts, or unsure how to stay consistent in your routines or relationships. I work with young adults and adults who want to feel more in control, more grounded, and more confident in themselves.

My approach to therapy

My approach is supportive, direct, and practical. I help you understand patterns, build coping strategies, and create systems that actually work in your daily life. We’ll focus on emotional regulation, structure, and developing a stronger sense of self. If spirituality is important to you, I can also incorporate that into our work.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment during their first session. This initial meeting is focused on getting to know you—your concerns, experiences, and what brought you to counseling. We will discuss your current challenges, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from therapy.

I will also explain my approach to counseling, answer any questions you may have, and begin working with you to identify goals for treatment. The first session is an opportunity to build rapport and ensure you feel comfortable and heard. Most importantly, it is a space where you can begin to share at your own pace while we collaborate on a path forward tailored to your needs.
