Living with ADHD isn’t about trying harder—it’s about learning how to work with your brain, not against it. As an experienced neurodivergent therapist, I help adults and parents of ADHD children move from frustration and overwhelm to clarity and confidence. Together, we uncover what’s fueling the chaos, strengthen focus, organization, and self-trust, and replace shame with understanding. Therapy becomes a supportive space to learn new strategies, regulate emotions, and thrive in everyday life.
I specialize in helping clients who feel stuck in cycles of distraction, burnout, and frustration finally feel grounded and capable. My approach combines CBT, executive function coaching, and mindfulness to manage attention, motivation, and emotional regulation. You’ll gain practical skills while addressing the deeper emotional roots that keep you stuck.
If you’ve spent years masking your symptoms or feeling like you or your child are “too much,” therapy can help rewrite that story. ADHD doesn’t define you—it’s part of what makes you creative, intuitive, and resilient. Together, we’ll transform self-blame into self-understanding and create routines that work for you, not against you. Get in touch now!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
