The stories we tend to hold about ourselves can shape our views about the world and our place in it. I am here to help you identify those unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and examine how these beliefs might be holding you back. Often when you are struggling it can feel like you are your own worst enemy. My goal is to help you better understand and accept yourself so that you can begin to work with your brain rather than continuing to fight against it.

My specialty involves the assessment of cognition across a wide span of central nervous system disorders including neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), traumatic brain injury (TBI), substance abuse, attention deficit syndromes, and autistic spectrum disorder.
Neuropsychological testing is very helpful in determining the etiology of cognitive complaints and differentiating organic from nonorganic factors. Cognition also changes throughout the lifespan, and neuropsychological testing provides the highest scientific standard in predicting cognitive functioning at later stages of life.

I specialize in OCD, anxiety, trauma, and neurodevelopmental conditions ( ADHD, autism) using an integrated CBT and ACT approach — working on both the patterns keeping you stuck and the values pulling you forward.
You're a teen or adult who's been living with anxiety, OCD, intrusive thoughts, or the weight of past trauma — and you're tired of just getting by. Maybe you've tried therapy before and it didn't quite fit. Perhaps you've recently learned you're neurodivergent and are starting to understand why certain approaches have never worked for you. You want a therapist who takes your experiences seriously and offers real, practical tools — not one-size-fits-all advice. Together, we'll build strategies that work with how your mind actually operates, so you can move forward with more clarity and less fear.

I specialize in supporting women with ADHD who are tired of feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
Women are incredible, and yet, I don’t know a single woman who hasn’t held deep pain and shame about herself at some point; somehow feeling like she is both too much and not enough.

Pajama‑Forward Therapist here.
If white‑knuckling, self‑shaming, and "try harder" actually worked, you'd have been healed years ago. But for many of us—especially people whose minds race and don't easily power down—it doesn't. Rest can feel impossible. Sometimes substances, distraction, or other coping strategies become the only way to get through the day. That doesn't mean you're broken. It means you've been carrying a lot for a long time. There is more to life than survival mode. A calmer, more meaningful life is possible—but it usually requires going deeper and looking at what's underneath. I'll go there with you.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
