Great to meet you!

You know what you want to accomplish, but getting started or staying on track can feel harder than it should. Whether you're managing ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I'm here to help you understand what's getting in the way and build strategies that work in your everyday life. I work with adults 18+ and provide a supportive, affirming space where you can gain insight, strengthen your confidence, and make meaningful, lasting changes.

My approach to therapy

You deserve more than temporary relief, you deserve tools that help you move forward. My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to your goals, drawing from evidence-based behavioral therapies, cognitive strategies, and exposure therapy when appropriate. Together, we'll identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck, develop effective coping skills, improve organization and motivation, and create realistic solutions that fit your life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself while building habits that support long-term growth.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to explore what brought you to therapy and where you'd like to go from here. We'll discuss your experiences, identify the challenges that are having the biggest impact on your life, and begin creating a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the path ahead and practical next steps to help you build momentum from the very beginning.
