Sometimes, adulting can feel impossible. Between trying to juggle work, classes, friends, relationships (or situationships), money, and family—it might feel easier just to check out or to stay in bed (especially if you're neurodivergent!). You might feel scattered. Exhausted but bored, unmotivated and uninspired. The thoughts in your head are too fast and too loud: that thing you wish you had done differently, or even how you wish you were different. Mostly, you just feel stuck.

If you're considering therapy, there's probably a part of you that has been carrying a lot for a long time. Welcome.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and deeply tired of carrying things alone. They may function well on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally sensitive, or disconnected on the inside. Often, there’s a sense of “I should be handling this better,” even when that expectation is part of the problem.

You're exhausted, and you can't quite explain why. You've kept the peace, shown up for everyone, said yes when you meant no, and something still feels wrong. Maybe it's the resentment that creeps in after you've given everything again. Maybe it's the way you react in relationships and then wonder what's wrong with you. You don't need a neat explanation for how you got here. You just know something has to change. I work with women who are done managing their lives from a place of obligation and exhaustion and are ready to do something about it.

You may be carrying experiences that feel too heavy alone-navigating life as an immigrant or refugee, healing from trauma or domestic violence, facing serious illness or loss, or supporting a loved one with developmental disabilities. Clients come to me exhausted but hopeful: tired of managing alone, yet believing things can change. You deserve a therapist who truly sees you-your culture, your resilience, your humanity. I meet you without judgment. Together we identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and create a path forward. You don't have to carry this alone.

If you're living with ADHD or feeling overwhelmed by constant mental noise, strong emotions, or trouble in your relationships, you don't have to keep managing it alone.

I specialize in finding and treating ADHD at any age, including when it happens with anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality struggles, and past injury.

I use a psychodynamic approach to therapy, which means I tailor my work to meet your unique situation.
I provide a confidential, judgment-free space to explore anything on your mind. Asking hard questions together, we'll process what hurts, uncover strengths, look closer at relationships and open up creative resources. I have experience working with spiritual beliefs and religious trauma, parenting through the lifespan, midlife identity shifts and relational concerns, including high conflict divorce. People who work with me often discover that presenting symptoms go much deeper than they thought.

My approach is mainly psychodynamic, paying close attention to your personality patterns and our relationship in the room to uncover lasting change.
I work with Christians (ages 18–40) who feel trapped by guilt, anxiety, and painful relationship patterns. For my clients, faith is integral to life and compromising that isn’t an option.

Some come to me after a season of panic or anxiety, but most are ready to commit to long-term therapy that helps them truly understand themselves and find lasting relief.
