I'm a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience helping adults navigate complex emotional challenges. I work with high-functioning individuals who are managing anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD, and relationship difficulties - often discovering that these struggles are deeply interconnected. I arrived in the United States from Latvia as a teenager. That experience shaped how I understand the internal and external pressures people face: the drive to succeed, the fear of falling short, and the challenge of building a sense of belonging while staying true to yourself. I bring that understanding into my work.
I help you notice patterns underlying anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges. Together we examine what's driving them - especially how perfectionism and drive can backfire when stress and ADHD intersect. I'll help you develop practical coping strategies so you feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
Change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. It’s possible to live with less anxiety, more clarity, and stronger relationships, and to care for yourself without guilt. If you’re ready to take that first step, please reach out for a 15-minute consultation. I’d be glad to hear your story and explore how we might work together.
