Life can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain won’t slow down, your emotions feel heavy, or you’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift. If you're neurospicy, anxious, depressed, navigating trauma, or even a gamer who knows you need to “touch grass,” you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with adults who are tired of overthinking, burned out, and feeling stuck. Together, we focus on helping you understand your mind, build practical strategies, and start feeling more grounded and in control of your life again.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
— Carl Rogers
I believe so many of us already have the capacity to become our best selves, but something gets in the way. Past experiences, anxiety, patterns we’ve learned, or ways we’ve had to cope that no longer serve us.
Together, we look at what’s underneath those patterns and begin to gently remove the things that are no longer helping you grow.
My approach is warm, supportive, and real. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are; while also helping you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you.

You have probably been holding a lot for a while. Maybe you have tried therapy before and felt heard in some ways, but came away thinking your ADHD never really got the attention it needed. Maybe the people around you would be surprised to learn how much you are carrying, because you tend to be the one who holds things together. I work with parents, academics, young professionals, and women in midlife navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and the kind of perfectionism that stopped feeling useful a long time ago. And you are welcome here, even if your story does not match these categories exactly.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
