Are you struggling with people-pleasing? Does it feel hard or even impossible to set boundaries? Often when we experience these challenges we tend to also struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and perfectionism. We might feel burnt out or dissatisfied, and it can be difficult to imagine things could be different. When we fall into people-pleasing patterns we often focus on what we feel is expected of us, leading to disconnection from our own wants, needs, and aspirations.

Accepting New Clients - Many of my clients are neurodivergent adults — often late-diagnosed AuDHD or ADHD — who've spent years masking, over-functioning, and pushing through in a world built for different brains. They arrive exhausted, anxious, and questioning who they are beneath the coping. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, RSD, burnout, and relationship strain show up often. Together, we slow down and explore what's underneath. I draw on Internal Family Systems, DBT, mindfulness, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, alongside years working with autistic and ADHD adults, to help you build self-trust and a life that fits how you're wired.

I work primarily with adults and older teens, offering support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use concerns.
My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, past trauma, or challenges with substance use. They want to understand themselves better, feel more grounded, and regain a sense of hope. Many are navigating life transitions, stress, or patterns that no longer serve them. What they want most is a safe, non-judgmental space to talk openly, build resilience, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for them.

Accepting new clients - Life can feel heavy at times. Anxiety can feel paralyzing, ADHD can leave you feeling misunderstood or “not enough,” and ongoing stress can make even everyday tasks feel exhausting. You may be navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, identity, self-esteem concerns, bicultural or BIPOC experiences, or patterns that keep showing up despite your best efforts. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore these experiences, gain insight, and move forward in a way that feels more aligned with your needs and values. I aim to offer a space where we can work through these concerns together.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
