Do you feel like you’re always JUST keeping your head out of water? Or like no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to show up as your best self for your family, relationships, work, or even yourself? Are you feeling hopeless & paralyzed by anxiety and shame? You don’t have to live like this. Imagine this instead: You're finally out of survival mode so you can actually be productive and feel less overwhelmed! Daily life feels manageable - no more paralysis leaving you feeling lazy and ashamed. You are finally present with your loved ones instead of trapped in racing thoughts!
I help neurodivergent adults, new parents, and couples move off the all-or-nothing roller coaster and into a more steady & sustainable life. So many ADHD and anxiety "hacks" out there miss the mark. I use value-based and self-compassion focused therapies along with regulation tools to help my clients THRIVE in the the life they were designed to live!
Working with me goes beyond band-aid productivity hacks that only last 2 days until they fade into the background. Together we’ll build sustainable strategies and systems that work WITH your unique brain to help you live in alignment with the life you are designed for! Book a FREE 20 minute consultation call to see if my services are the best fit for you.

In your first session, we will talk about what brings you to therapy and decide together what the best approach might be to achieve your goals. I believe that a values-focused and self-compassionate approach is necessary for meaningful and sustainable change. We'll look into how to help you reframe and shift beliefs that are keeping you stuck so you can work towards feeling more like yourself.
