Do you ever feel like your brain has a mind of its own—constantly running, jumping from thought to thought, and refusing to quiet down when you actually need rest? Maybe you forget things as quickly as you think of them. Maybe you get bored easily, start projects you don’t finish, feel overstimulated one minute and shut down the next. And somehow, despite working twice as hard as everyone else, you still end up feeling behind. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I help clients with ADHD understand their brain, regulate emotions, and build confidence. My approach is calm, direct, and practical. Sessions give you a grounded space to manage overload, learn strategies that fit your mind, and create structure without shame so daily life feels more manageable.

As a veteran, former firefighter, and trauma-trained therapist, I understand what it means to carry more than your share while still trying to show up for others. Therapy with me is respectful, supportive, and centered on helping you feel grounded again. I’m currently accepting new virtual clients across Texas. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
