I specialize in chronic illness and pain, medical and childhood trauma, grief, people-pleasing, caretaking, ADHD and autism, and navigating life's changes.
I offer relational therapy for the chronically ill, the grievers, those who feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, and those who often feel they aren't "good enough."
When you go to bed at night, you wonder how you are going to feel the next morning. You wake up in pain but still start to get ready...only to find that the thought of getting dressed overwhelms you. Shame creeps in: “Why can’t I even do this basic task?” You start to ruminate on this and fear telling people that you are struggling. You push through and mask the pain…which leaves you either very fatigued, in even more physical or emotional pain, and/or overstimulated.

My therapy style is mainly using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Culturally sensitive approaches to provide space for change in the client. I have also trained in trauma-informed care and more interpersonal approaches such as Gestalt and Psychodynamic. I love seeing the change in the client. Once change happens, it is like a whirlwind. That drives me to continue to do this work. I am honest and direct, I like for my clients to feel confident enough to challenge me if necessary. Goal setting is a collaborative approach between me and the client. We determine the goal and how to approach said goal.

Even when your body is still, your brain won’t stop running and it’s exhausting. You’re used to pushing through but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Especially when you have such high expectations for yourself. What if you could feel comfortable letting your mind wander without worrying about what path it will take you down? That probably sounds scary because you know how many paths it can go down, and it goes fast, but it is possible. You have a strong sense of empathy towards others, now it’s time to show yourself that same compassion.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community, ADHD, anxiety, autism, trauma, and self-esteem.
I believe everyone deserves to live a life that feels fulfilling and true to who they are. My job is to help you understand how your past shapes your present and support you in recognizing (and breaking free from) the patterns and outside expectations that keep you feeling stuck. Together, we’ll explore what actually brings you joy and fulfillment, with plenty of gentleness and self-compassion along the way. My therapy style blends humor and warmth with deep, meaningful work—sometimes cracking up while introducing our pets over Zoom can be just as healing as processing deep-rooted childhood trauma.

You’re thoughtful, creative, and often the one others turn to — but lately, it’s been hard to hold it all together. You might be overthinking everything, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, burnout, a diagnosis, or a shift in identity. You might be exploring your queerness or neurodivergence, processing trauma, or trying to break old patterns in your relationships. Deep down, you just want to feel grounded again — to live with more clarity, ease and joy — but you’re not sure where to start. If this sounds like you - you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

While I work with clients with many different needs and experiences, I specialize in working with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and those recovering from spiritual abuse and coercive control.

Together we’ll uncover feelings, patterns, and behaviors that impact you today by examining past relationships and experiences.

I specialize in anxiety therapy, ADHD support, burnout recovery, and trauma-informed counseling.
You’re the go-to person, the one who remembers birthdays, sends check-in texts, organizes the calendar, and keeps the peace in your group chat. You do the emotional labor at home and at work, all while trying to function like a human with needs. And yet, your brain won’t stop spinning, your heart feels like it’s running a marathon, and your “relax time” is just anxiety in sweatpants. If you’re feeling burned out, stuck in patterns that drain you, or overwhelmed by relationships, you’re not alone. You might feel like you’re constantly holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
