Great to meet you!

I help adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck begin to make sense of their inner world—and find ways to move forward with clarity and self-compassion. You may have spent years feeling “too much,” “not enough,” or like you’re constantly trying to keep up. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to mask, perform, or explain yourself—we start exactly where you are. As a trauma-informed therapist, I utilize various interventions, including EMDR, CBT, and DBT.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with ADHD/neurodiversity, anxiety, and depression. Together, we’ll explore how your brain works—not as a problem to fix, but as something to understand and support. I offer practical tools for focus, emotional regulation, and burnout, while also addressing the deeper patterns that come from years of feeling different or misunderstood.

What you can expect from me

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and deeply validating. I integrate evidence-based approaches with a flexible, personalized style. I can help you understand what’s holding you back and support you in creating real, lasting change. Together, we’ll build the tools and clarity you need to move forward and reach the goals that matter most to you.
