As a mental health counselor specializing in women with ADHD, I know that your experience of navigating the world is entirely unique—and often completely exhausting. The standard approaches to ADHD have ignored the specific ways it manifests in females. My practice is dedicated to changing that narrative and providing a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. In our work together, we will focus on three core pillars tailored to how your brain and body actually function: A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach, Hormonal Awareness and Masking/Imposter Syndrome. Together, we will transform your exhaustion into empowerment.

You know something has changed, even if it's hard to put into words. Maybe you no longer feel like yourself. The strategies that once worked aren't working anymore. Your mind feels foggy, your emotions feel bigger than they used to, or you're constantly wondering why everything suddenly feels harder.
You may be navigating perimenopause or menopause, caring for aging parents, adjusting to changes in your health, grieving a loss, facing financial stress, or simply trying to hold everything together while wondering where you went.
Therapy offers a place to slow down and make sense of what you're experiencing.

You're overwhelmed by your stress & anxiety, and frankly by emotions in general. Maybe people tell you that you are too sensitive, and you believe them. You hate that you feel so much all of the time. To protect yourself you work hard to "be normal." You try to keep your emotions in check by numbing, or over-doing, or holding yourself back, or isolating. What you don't know, yet, is your sensitivity is your unique gift, and that all of your strategies have served you well in the past, but may need a bit of an update to support you better as life continues to change and you continue to evolve.

Everything feels hard right now doesn't it? Realizing that maybe, things are not fine and you are not ok. Maybe even coming to the hard conclusion that some of the things that you have experienced are impacting you in ways that you know are not healthy or helpful. You want to be better, but don't know how. Most of my practice is working with those in the helping field and it is HARD to seek support when you are the one typically supporting and helping. It is normal to feel alone, but I will work with you as we find your path back to yourself.

You understand yourself. You know why you struggle — the patterns, the reasons. But insight alone hasn't changed it. You're still managing the same anxiety, the same cycles.
I specialize in adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression — particularly those who've tried therapy and still feel stuck. I also work with women experiencing the emotional and cognitive shifts of perimenopause and menopause, changes often dismissed in traditional mental health care.

I believe people can find their way toward hope, healing, and change that reaches beneath the surface—and I also know how hard that can be to do alone. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, significant life changes, relational stress, and complex dynamics. I understand this both as a therapist and as someone who has been on the other side of the work. That experience shapes the compassionate, grounded space I offer in our work together. Reaching out for support takes courage, and therapy can offer a place to begin making sense of what feels overwhelming or unclear.

Life is complicated. Relationships can be messy, and sometimes your brain just refuses to cooperate. If you’ve ever thought, “Why does life seem so hard?” — you’re not alone.
I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who find themselves overthinking, masking, or taking care of everyone else that they lose touch with themselves along the way.

I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma or complex trauma, anxiety or overwhelm, relationship issues (with partners, friends, family, or at work), a major transition that’s stirred up old patterns, sensory sensitivities or executive functioning struggles. Many of my clients are high-achieving, deeply reflective, and often exhausted by cycles of burnout, shame, relational stress, or emotional dysregulation. Many may identify as neurodivergent. I offer affirming care for neurodivergent, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients.

My clients are often carrying the lasting weight of trauma, anxiety, or depression and recognize that something deeper needs to change. Many struggle with unresolved trauma, painful memories, or recurring relationship patterns, and may have found that traditional talk therapy was not enough. They want to move forward, feel free from the weight of what they’ve been carrying, reconnect with themselves (sometimes for the first time), and experience a renewed sense of hope.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
