Great to meet you!

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, ADHD, or a major life change, you’re not alone. I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck and want to understand why. I believe ADHD isn’t simply something to “fix.” With the right strategies, it can become one of your greatest strengths. My goal is for you to leave each session with a better understanding of yourself and tools you can actually use in everyday life.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should fit you and your unique needs and goals. Every person brings a different story, so we’ll work together to find an approach that makes sense for your life and what you're hoping to accomplish. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes. Along the way, we’ll also look at how daily habits, such as sleep, nutrition and exercise, may be affecting how you’re feeling.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a conversation, not a checklist. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, what you’re hoping will be different, and what you want to get out of therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet—that’s what we’re here to work through together. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer understanding of where you’d like to go and begin creating a plan to help you get there.
