I work with people who are sorting through who they are and how they want to show up in the world. That might look like untangling identity, emotional baggage, anxiety, or neurodivergence - or working through grief, religious trauma, relationship shifts, or just feeling stuck. I’ve supported artists, caregivers, SWers, and other entrepreneurs, along with folks navigating non-traditional relationship structures like non-monogamy or kink dynamics. A lot of what I do comes down to building gut trust, setting boundaries that can stick, and figuring out what matters to you (not just in theory, but in practice).

Seasons of change, new parenthood, fertility struggles, pregnancy, or hormonal dysfunction can disrupt your sense of what is normal. It makes sense to reach for safety in the face of uncertainty, even when those patterns start to feel restrictive. Intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, and overwhelm is exhausting to hold alone. I work with individuals navigating anxiety and OCD by meeting their experience with care and courage. Together, we will gently challenge fear and strengthen trust in oneself.

I work with individuals interested in taking a closer look at their lives, patterns, thoughts, and feelings in order to reduce anxiety. Sometimes we intellectualize, aim for perfection, overwork, overthink, and overdo because we’re distracting ourselves from deeper, complicated feelings. Sometimes these patterns come from past insecurities or painful memories. Most of us need to feel seen, heard, and validated in these past struggles while also gaining new perspectives and tools to start feeling lighter. From a holistic, nuanced perspective, we will hopefully understand where pain points are stemming from and how to heal them.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
