Great to meet you!

I am a Master's-level clinician specializing in late-diagnosed adult ADHD, family-of-origin conflict, and identity exploration. Having lived these intersections myself, I intimately understand the daily mental gymnastics of a fast-firing, neurodivergent brain navigating spaces that lack understanding. My background includes extensive experience guiding adults through addiction recovery and deep trauma. In my space, your identity is fully affirmed, your story is validated, and your truth is safely spoken. You do not have to carry old family scripts or executive burnout alone anymore.

My approach to therapy

My approach views you as the sovereign expert on your own life. I pull heavily from the active, experiential modality of Psychodrama developed by J.L. Moreno, alongside highly practical executive functioning tools. Rather than just talking in circular patterns, we work dynamically to externalize old family conditioning, untangle unearned shame, and map out behavioral patterns. I provide a collaborative, structured environment designed to unlock your organic spontaneity and creativity so you can build real-world solutions.

What you can expect from me

Clients leave our sessions with a profound sense of emotional catharsis and concrete structural scaffolding for their daily lives. You will gain practical tools to conquer time blindness, manage transition freezes, and overcome chronic procrastination. Structurally, you will learn to dismantle compliance-based masking, break free from internalized labels, and confidently step into your own adult authority. We close each session with clear, actionable strategies so your fast-firing nervous system feels completely grounded and safe.
