I provide comprehensive assessments to diagnose ADHD in adults, because it’s never too late to understand yourself and make lasting changes. I work with folks who feel overwhelmed and stuck. Many have spent years masking, over-functioning, or self-blaming. They may repeat the same patterns in relationships, shut down under stress, or rely on coping strategies that now cause exhaustion and substance use. I also work with couples using The Gottman Method approach to help partners understand each other more deeply, build emotional closeness, and communicate in ways that reduce conflict and increase respect and empathy.
I support adults and couples through assessment-informed therapy and psychoeducation. I help clients understand differences in attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, and how these affect stress, relationships, and identity. I specialize in addiction, recovery, trauma, and codependency, especially when overlapping with ADHD or Autism.
I offer a steady, respectful, and nonjudgmental space, especially for those who have felt misunderstood by providers or systems. Therapy isn’t about fixing you but understanding how you work and building tools for sustainable, meaningful change. If this resonates, I welcome you to reach out.

I work with clients struggling with relationship issues and maladaptive patterns. Much of emotional suffering comes from early relational wounds, unhelpful coping patterns, and chronic self-criticism. Together, we'll explore these patterns in depth and collaborate on a thoughtful, realistic plan for lasting change. Many clients notice increased clarity and relief within the first few sessions.

I use a psychodynamic lens to explore the roots of distress, including early experiences and recurring relationship patterns. My integrative approach draws from CBT and ACT to shift unhelpful thoughts, DBT for emotion regulation and communication, and Motivational Interviewing to support change without shame. All work is trauma-informed, collaborative, and relational.
