I help teens and adults understand themselves better, manage difficult thoughts and emotions, navigate life stressors, heal from past wounds, and create healthier patterns. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and customized to each client's unique needs. I am experienced in treating substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, life adjustments, school and work-related stressors, and relationship and family challenges. I also specialize in working with individuals navigating life with ADHD, helping them develop strategies to manage daily challenges in ways that feel achievable and not overwhelming.
As someone with lived experience of ADHD and my own journey of mental health ups and downs, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding to my work. I know how powerful it can be to feel seen and understood, and I aim to create that space for clients. I genuinely care about helping you feel less alone in it all.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, we'll work together to make things feel lighter and more manageable. If you're curious about getting started, please visit the website or email me directly to schedule an intake or ask any questions. I'd be happy to help you take the next step.

I use a flexible, collaborative, and supportive approach that combines different therapy techniques and theoretical orientations tailored to each client's unique needs because no two minds (or lives) are the same. I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to my practice and aim to make the process as safe, human, and not-at-all-awkward as possible.
