You’ve always known you're different: you're fast thinking, creative, and often overwhelmed. As a child, you may have been the daydreamer, a procrastinator, fidgety, or the one who could do everything except focus when it mattered. You may be late diagnosed with ADHD and you’re tired of trying to “fix” yourself through effort & perfectionism. I'm neurodivergent, so I've lived the pain. I work with adults who grew up masking, people-pleasing, or pushing past their limits. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are; it’s about understanding your wiring, building nervous system resilience, and creating a life that feels authentic.

Do you feel like your life looks “okay” on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, guilty, or like you’re always bracing for the next crisis? Maybe you find yourself overworking to prove your worth, constantly second guessing yourself, or feeling selfish when you try to set boundaries. It’s easy to overthink and to become self-critical when you’re working so hard to build a good life for yourself but feel stuck in the same old patterns. If this sounds familiar, we should talk! I offer therapy for young adults that are moving forward after childhood trauma and navigating difficult life transitions.

I often use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, person-centered, trauma-focused interventions, and behavior modification to help clients process stuck points and meet their goals.
NOT accepting new clients, waitlist. I have over 10 years of experience and hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Northern Arizona University. I am also being supervised by Dr. Franza, a licensed clinical psychologist at Franza Psychological Services. If you're looking for someone to talk to, I understand that seeking help can be challenging, so I provide a safe and supportive environment to assist clients in processing challenges and difficult life circumstances. Negative experiences can influence our thoughts, emotions, and self-perception, leading to maladaptive patterns and behaviors that impact our lives.
