You Know What’s Not Working.
Changing It Is the Hard Part.

From the outside, you seem capable, responsible, and accomplished. Inside, you may feel overwhelmed by everything it takes to stay organized, follow through, regulate your emotions, and keep up with the expectations placed on you.

You may understand exactly why you’re struggling and still feel unable to change the pattern. Therapy can help you work with your brain, trust yourself more, and create ways of moving through life that feel sustainable.

Therapy for ADHD, Anxiety, Trauma, and Relationship Patterns

Adult ADHD

ADHD is about much more than attention. Many adults struggle with overwhelm, procrastination, emotional intensity, and years of feeling like they're somehow falling short. Together, we'll identify practical strategies while building a more compassionate understanding of how your brain works.

Anxiety & Overthinking

Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, self doubt, and feeling unable to shut your mind off. Therapy can help you understand the patterns driving your anxiety and develop tools to navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.

Trauma & EMDR

Sometimes difficult experiences leave a lasting impact that logic alone can't resolve. Using EMDR and other evidence based approaches, we'll work to process painful experiences so they feel less overwhelming and have less influence over your present life.

Relationships & Attachment

Even when you know a relationship isn't healthy, it can be difficult to understand why certain patterns keep repeating. We'll explore the experiences, beliefs, and attachment patterns that shape your relationships so you can build healthier and more secure connections.

What Therapy With Me Is Like

You may already have a good understanding of why you do what you do. But knowing where a pattern comes from doesn’t necessarily make it easier to respond differently when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, or back in the middle of it.

In therapy, we’ll slow things down and look more closely at what is happening. That might mean noticing what happens between deciding to do something and being able to start it, or exploring why a boundary feels clear in your mind but becomes difficult to say out loud.

I’m warm and compassionate, but I’m also straightforward. I’ll ask questions, share what I notice, and help you find strategies that make sense in your day-to-day life. I won’t hand you a generic checklist or tell you that you just need to try harder.

Your culture, identity, relationships, and lived experiences also matter. I approach those parts of your life with curiosity and humility, without assuming I understand your experience better than you do.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen closely, be honest with you, and help you take what you learn in therapy into your actual life, we may be a good fit.
