Are you feeling exhausted from trying to keep everything together—managing responsibilities, emotions, and relationships that feel harder than they “should?” I specialize in working with high functioning individuals navigating relationship stress, communication breakdowns, and the unique challenges that often come with anxiety and ADHD—including emotional reactivity, overwhelm, and feeling misunderstood. Many of my clients are newly diagnosed later in life or are in relationships where ADHD has quietly shaped patterns around responsibility, follow-through, and connection.
Therapy with me is a place to slow things down, feel supported, and make meaningful changes—together. I combine evidence-based practices using techniques from neuropsychotherapy, EMDR, and cognitive behavior therapy. For clients who request it, I also offer Christian based counseling. My specialties include late diagnosed ADHD and anxiety.
Ready to focus on understanding patterns (not blame), improving communication, and building tools that actually work in real life? Please reach out! I respond to all inquiries within 24 hours and can usually offer appointment times the same week. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with clients who may need help recognizing and changing deeply rooted internal messages that lead to feelings of anxiety. In our initial sessions we'll look at family relationships & past events and start to unravel negative thoughts. My clients typically see improvements in the first month.
