Navigating ADHD, binge eating, LGBTQ+ troubles, and relationship issues often share a common thread: feeling out of touch with our desires and needs. ADHD can cause struggles with focus, completing tasks, or committing to projects. Binge eating offers fleeting relief, quickly replaced by guilt and shame. Being queer can impact self-esteem, and relationship issues add to the mix. We often long for consistent stability in our lives. Therapy can be transformative, offering the support needed to foster lasting growth and resilience. It provides a consistent space to reconnect with yourself and build a fulfilling life.
Specializing in ADHD, binge eating, LGBTQ+ issues, and relationships, I draw from personal experience. My approach bridges your past with your present to identify the outcomes you seek. My goal is to help you feel connected to your body, finish your tasks, and cultivate fulfilling relationships. Together, we'll work towards meaningful and lasting change.
I share a deep understanding of the stress, fear, worry, and frustration from struggling with self-acceptance and difficulty focusing. It’s a daily challenge. What aids the most is a consistent space to transform your life. If you seek to regain control and make impactful changes, reach out! Therapy provides the stability and support needed for your journey.

When it comes to ADHD, binge eating, relationships, and LGBTQ issues, we first briefly explore the history that leads to the troubling present. From there, we discern themes and unhelpful patterns. Then we collaborate to find opportunities for making healthy, sustainable, small changes that add up over time. The result is feeling connected, in control, and in meaningful relationships with others.

I frequently use psychodynamic to get to know you and what we're working on. Then, depending on the issue(s), I'll switch between styles. If it's relationships, we can explore it through an attachment-based or Gestalt lens, if it's intrapersonal we can use IFS, Narrative, and MBCT, and if it's goal pursuit we can use MI, Existential, or Coaching. But almost everything can work if we do the work!
