I believe that understanding yourself is the first step toward creating meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism, and the unique challenges that can come with neurodivergence.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. As a woman diagnosed with ADHD at age 30, I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to navigate life with an ADHD brain—especially when your experiences weren’t recognized or understood earlier in life. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women and adults who are newly diagnosed and are beginning to make sense of themselves through a new lens. I also understand the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children while navigating your own neurodivergence.

I have extensive experience helping clients develop practical executive functioning skills, behavioral strategies, and systems to improve organization, time management, follow-through, and daily functioning. My goal is not to make you fit into a system that wasn’t designed for you, but to help you build strategies that work with the way your brain works.

Through a mix of therapeutic techniques (and sometimes a little humor), I’ll walk alongside you as you build coping skills, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and good old-fashioned honest conversation. My goal is to gently challenge you to step outside your comfort zone because that is where real change happens.

I also work with anxiety and panic using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills to manage anxiety and regain a sense of control.

Therapy doesn’t have to be about changing who you are. Together, we can work toward better understanding yourself, building effective tools, and creating a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.

Above all, I believe therapy works best when it’s real. I’m fun, a little quirky, and always honest—you’ll never get a “therapy voice” from me. I will walk alongside you for this experience so that you feel understood and accepted and learn the skills you need to achieve your goals.
