Feeling like your past won't stay in the past? Does it keep popping up like an uninvited guest? Or maybe the idea of speaking up or going somewhere new makes your heart race like you're running a marathon? Maybe both of these apply or only one slightly describes what you're feeling. That's ok! I've worked over the past decade to support people with working through their past so that they feel calm and comfortable in their present. I specialize in working with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, and/or ADHD. My goal is to support you with no longer needing therapy and working myself out of a job.
I use a variety of evidence-based treatments (aka tools proven to work on multiple people repeatedly) tailored to each client. To make sure we're on the right track we will set goals and constantly check-in to adjust what therapy tools and techniques are needed for you specifically. Some tools I use are EMDR, CBT, and DBT but I love learning and keep adding.
I understand reaching out to a therapist is a HUGE first step. However, if you choose to reach out we'll set up a time to talk and see if I’m a good fit for your needs. If I'm not that's ok - no harm and no cost! I can even try to help you find other therapists. I'm here to support you so reach out today and let's talk. - Evening Availability in EST and CST

I work with anxiety and trauma (CPTSD or PTSD) and have a sub-specialty of working with ADHD folks. Trauma and anxiety can sometimes feel crippling and if you add on ADHD or executive functioning issues (which can be caused from trauma) it can make it feel unmanageable. Together we can work to support you with lifting this burden and freeing yourself of these issues.
