Sometimes you know something needs to change, even when you’re not sure where to begin. Anxiety can leave you feeling constantly on edge. ADHD may make it hard to focus or stay organized. Grief can reshape how you see yourself, your relationships, and your future. Not to mention the effects of trauma may still be showing up in ways you never expected. Whatever brought you here, you certainly don’t have to figure it out alone.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, ADD/ADHD, grief-loss, and trauma. These experiences often overlap with depression, OCD, panic, stress, family/relationship challenges, PTSD, maternal mental health, women’s issues, cultural and ethnic concerns, and/or chronic health conditions.

I know how important it is to have a space where your identity, culture, and lived experiences are welcomed, not set aside or merely tolerated. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel truly understood, and make sense of what you’ve been carrying. Together, we will build on the strengths you already have, develop tools that fit your life, and move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and hopeful about what’s ahead.

Our work together will make room for all of you: the person you are, and the experiences, relationships, culture, and circumstances that have shaped you. We’ll explore how anxiety, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, or trauma may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, as we make sense of the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be making things feel heavier than they need to.

I tailor therapy to each client, drawing from approaches that may include:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Motivational Interviewing

• Strengths-Based Therapy

• Positive Psychology

• Somatic and Body-Based Approaches

• Mindfulness-Based Practices

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Our sessions will be collaborative, compassionate, and shaped around your needs. You will not be asked to fit into a one-size-fits-all version of therapy; instead, we will create one that fits you, so you can move forward with more ease, clarity, and hope.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or have everything figured out before we begin. In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to understand what brought you to therapy, what has felt hardest lately, and what you hope will feel different. Together, we’ll set goals that feel meaningful and realistic and decide where it makes the most sense to start.

You can expect me to listen with warmth and curiosity, respect your lived experience, and offer a space where you can be honest without feeling judged or rushed.

Progress might look like feeling less overwhelmed by anxiety, finding strategies that make ADHD easier to manage, moving through grief without being defined by it, or healing from trauma so the past has less hold on your present. As we go, we’ll keep checking in on your goals and adjust our work as your needs change and grow.

When you’re ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway. I look forward to meeting you.
