Life can look fine on the outside while feeling chaotic on the inside. If ADHD, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions are affecting your motivation or connection, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer warm, evidence-based therapy for adults, teens, and couples—helping you create structure, emotional balance, healthier habits, and deeper, more fulfilling relationships.
I specialize in supporting individuals, teens, and couples who are struggling with ADHD, screen or internet overuse (including gaming or doom-scrolling), chronic anxiety or stress, and relationship or communication difficulties often in high-demand environments like tech, parenting, school, or juggling multiple roles.
I currently offer virtual and In-person sessions Monday–Fridays in Mountain View. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. If you’re ready to feel more in control and less overwhelmed, I’m here to support you. Contact me to schedule your consultation—I usually can offer one within 24 hours.
