Sometimes life can feel overwhelming when you are trying to manage your emotions, keep up with everyday responsibilities, or navigate challenges that seem to affect every part of your life. ADHD can make it difficult to stay focused or organized, anxiety may leave you caught in constant worry, and sleep difficulties can make even familiar routines feel exhausting. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing ADHD, anxiety, sleep disorders, PTSD, and chronic conditions. These challenges can also overlap with depression, bipolar disorder, family or relationship difficulties, stress, grief, or major life transitions, especially when your emotional and physical wellbeing begin affecting one another. With more than 14 years of experience, I understand that everyone brings different strengths, experiences, and needs to therapy. Together, we can better understand what you are going through, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that help you feel more balanced, confident, and supported in everyday life.

Our work will make room for both the person you are today and the experiences, relationships, responsibilities, and physical and emotional challenges that have shaped your life. We'll explore how your mental health may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, daily routines, relationships, and ability to feel grounded. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop healthier ways of responding, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you manage intense emotions, tolerate difficult situations, and strengthen communication skills, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to help you identify and challenge beliefs that may be contributing to emotional distress or frustration. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy can help you become more aware of difficult thoughts and feelings without automatically reacting to them, while Biofeedback can help you better understand your body's responses to stress and develop skills for managing physical tension and emotional discomfort. Our sessions will be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized, balancing deeper understanding with practical strategies that support both your emotional and physical wellbeing.

You do not need to come to therapy with everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what has been happening in your life, what feels most difficult right now, and what you hope will feel different moving forward. Together, we will identify meaningful goals and develop practical strategies that reflect your individual needs, strengths, and circumstances. You can expect me to bring warmth, compassion, and an open mind to our work while creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Progress may look like finding strategies to manage ADHD, improving sleep habits, feeling more supported while navigating physical health challenges, processing difficult experiences connected to trauma, or developing healthier ways to cope with the emotional impact of chronic conditions. We will continue checking in on what is helping, recognize the progress you are making, and adjust our approach as your needs evolve. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
