Some people come to therapy because everything is falling apart. Many of the adults I see come because everything looks fine and they can't keep it up anymore. If you're managing work, family, and a long to-do list while feeling worn down, scattered, or constantly on edge, you may be dealing with more than stress.

I'm a licensed therapist in Florida (LMHC) and Colorado (LPC), a National Certified Counselor, and an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. I focus on adult ADHD and anxiety, particularly in women and in healthcare professionals facing burnout. I work in healthcare and have ADHD myself, which helps me understand what your days are really like.

Sessions are by video, practical, and free of judgment. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcomes all adults.

I believe you are the expert on you. My role is to help you see your patterns more clearly and give you tools that fit how your brain actually works. I draw on ACT, CBT, mindfulness, Gestalt, and person-centered therapy, and I explain the reasoning behind what we try, so nothing feels like a mystery. With ADHD and anxiety, that often means working out what drains you, what restores you, and how to plan around the energy you really have. I'm warm, direct, and practical.

We'll spend our first session getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's been hardest lately, what your days and weeks look like, and what you hope will be different. There are no wrong answers, and you set the pace. I'll also share how I work and what therapy with me usually involves, and you're welcome to ask me anything. By the end, we'll have a first sense of your goals and a plan for where to begin.
