I work with adults who are carrying a lot of responsibility but have started to feel more frustrated, distracted, reactive, shut down, or mentally overloaded than they want to be. Many are capable people who function well at work and keep life moving, but the strain begins showing up at home, in relationships, in parenting, or in their ability to be fully present.

Often, the problem is not simply what is happening today. Old family roles, unwritten rules, inherited expectations, and long-standing ways of handling stress can continue shaping how someone responds to conflict, responsibility, and the people closest to them.

My style is direct, collaborative, and practical. I especially enjoy working with adults and men dealing with ADHD, anxiety, relationship strain, family stress, and the pressure of being the person others rely on.

Licensed to practice in: Kentucky, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina and Florida.

Therapy with me is active, structured, and focused on identifying patterns that keep creating the same problems. We look at how you respond to stress, what expectations you carry, the roles you tend to fall into, and what happens when pressure builds in work, relationships, or family life.

I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, attachment-informed work, and compassion-focused approaches. In everyday terms, that means looking at the connection between your thoughts, emotions, behavior, relationships, and the patterns that influence how you function.

I ask questions, help connect the dots, offer another perspective when it is useful, and work with you to turn insight into practical change. The goal is not simply to understand yourself better. It is to become more intentional in how you respond when the same stress, conflict, or familiar pattern shows up again.

The first session is less of a formal interview and more of a focused, collaborative assessment. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of what is happening, what may be driving it, and where we should begin.

We will look at the areas creating the most friction in your life, what you have already tried, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. That might include ADHD-related difficulty, chronic stress, irritability, shutting down, overthinking, relationship strain, family expectations, or feeling like you are working hard but still not showing up the way you want to.

You can expect thoughtful questions, direct but supportive feedback, and an initial direction for moving forward. Therapy should begin becoming useful from the first session, not several weeks down the road.
