Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or challenges with substance use and recovery. Sometimes, the patterns we develop to cope with life’s challenges can eventually leave us feeling stuck. I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore what may be getting in your way. My approach is collaborative and curious. Together, we’ll work to understand where your struggles come from, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and develop practical coping skills that fit your life. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills, while drawing on a trauma-informed perspective. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself, not judging yourself. I have a particular interest in working with young adults and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and the relationship between emotional distress and substance use. Sometimes, behaviors that seem unhelpful on the surface began as ways to manage overwhelming emotions, feel more in control, or simply get through the day. We’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and self-compassion, helping you develop healthier ways to cope while building on your existing strengths. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, understand your needs, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, manageable, and meaningful. We will work together, one step at a time.

My approach to therapy

I use mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical (DBT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Areas of focus include; anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships and substance abuse. I currently work with many young adults. I also enjoy working with athletes and former athletes.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will discuss what’s been challenging, what you’d like to change, and what you hope to get out of our work together. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out or know where to begin. My goal is for you to feel comfortable being yourself as we begin working together toward meaningful change.
