Great to meet you!

You may be working twice as hard as everyone around you just to keep up, and wondering why it still never feels like enough. I work with teens, adults, and older adults who are navigating ADHD, learning differences, family conflict, and the kind of stress that builds up quietly until it becomes the baseline. Some people come to me on their own and some come as a family trying to understand each other better. Whatever brings you in, I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported, and free to share your story at your own pace and in your own words.

My approach to therapy

Our work together is a partnership. If attention or learning challenges have made school, work, or home harder than they should be, we will figure out what is actually getting in your way and build coping skills and routines that fit how your mind works, not how someone else thinks it should. If family stress is what brought you here, we will look at the patterns that keep repeating and find ways of communicating that leave everyone feeling more understood. Over time, you will start to notice your own patterns sooner, meet stress with more steadiness, and reconnect with your own resilience, values, and goals for change. I work best with people who want to be an active partner in their care rather than be told what to do.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about building comfort and connection so you can get a sense of how I work and what therapy with me will feel like. We will talk about what brought you in, what you are hoping to change, and what feels most important right now. From there, we will create a plan together and move at a pace that respects your needs, boundaries, and preferences. You do not need to have anything figured out before you reach out. That part is what we will do together, and I would be glad to hear from you.
