Therapy is a chance to slow down and step into a safe, confidential space away from the external world to explore your inner one. To sit in a quiet room with another human being who is unconditionally kind but honest, and also trained to recognize patterns of unhealthy behavior, irrational thinking, and the invisible blocks that keep you from being the best version of yourself. I invite you to begin your counseling journey with me and start this process of untangling emotional knots and using these insights to make positive changes in your life.

Are you a 40+ woman who is twice exceptional (intelligent and ADHD), feeling overwhelmed? Is it even harder because your parents are accomplished people, and you feel like you can't keep up with expectations? You are hardworking and others count on you. But there are days when it feels like it takes all you have just to get dressed and out the door. Your brain either supercharged or foggy, and you can't often predict which it will be. So you sometimes feel like an Impostor who is just "pulling it off". You had trauma, recently or in the past, which doesn't help. You are ready for change, but you need to be understood.

I believe in the positive outcomes of behavioral health treatment to alleviate our most troubling symptoms for a better mental well-being. I have found relief from intrusive thoughts, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and this is why I am a strong advocate for therapy. I follow therapy practices that tap into the strengths we have in ourselves to heal. When we cannot do it alone, a therapeutic relationship can guide us into finding our strengths to grow into a better self. Too many stressors or being in crisis can make it harder for us to feel better alone; this is why therapy and a trusting relationship with a therapist can be healing.
