Lasting change starts with a safe, judgment-free space—essential for adults whose ADHD is too often misread as laziness. It’s not the task itself but the starting that feels impossible, weighed down by shame or fear of failing. Maybe you’ve been told “stop procrastinating” or “just be disciplined” so often it became your own inner voice. Sometimes the only way to get things done is through panic, only to end up drained. My approach draws from CBT and DBT principles to support clients in understanding their patterns and practicing strategies that encourage clarity and follow-through

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

You: "I am READY to feel better." Me: "Right on. I've got the tools. Let's get to work." This whole therapy business may seem a little weird to you, but you have been feeling a deep lack of connection to the things that really matter to you and you don't want to keep feeling this way. You've had some struggles earlier in your life, or more recently, that have impacted how you relate to others and how you related to the world in general, and you're not liking how this restriction, this disconnect feels. You've wanted to be a better coworker, partner, or father, and you're feeling really ready to invest the time to make it happen.
