My Approach

Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and grounded in emotional regulation. We work on both immediate coping tools and deeper identity patterns.

Anxiety & Emotional Regulation

When your nervous system feels constantly "on," it’s hard to show up as the person you want to be. My approach focuses on helping you move from reactive to reflective. Together, we’ll work to: Befriend your nervous system, by moving out of "fight-or-flight" and back into a state of calm. Decode your emotions, by identifying the physical sensations and triggers before they become overwhelming. Communicate with clarity, by shifting from reactive responses to intentional, healthy connection with others. Manage your unique symptoms; Whether you are navigating ADHD, anxiety, or depression, we’ll develop individualized coping strategies that actually fit your lifestyle. Using a blend of CBT, Attachment Theory, and Values-Based work, we won’t just "manage" symptoms, we’ll build a life that feels authentic to you.

ADHD & Executive Functioning in Women

To the outside world, you have it all together. You’re the one who gets things done, hits the deadlines, and shows up for everyone else. But internally, that "productivity" may feel like a desperate attempt to outrun overwhelm. For many women, ADHD doesn't look like hyperactivity; it looks like internalized anxiety. We’ll work together to peel back the mask and address:

  • The Productivity Paradox: Understanding why you crave structure but instinctively resist rigidity.

  • Emotional Regulation: Untangling the "big feelings" and reactivity that are often rooted in executive dysfunction.

  • The "Not Enough" Narrative: Quietly dismantling the chronic guilt that tells you you’re failing, even when you’re achieving.

I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" model. My approach is strength-based and collaborative, I want to help you find what actually clicks for your brain:

  • CBT & Solution-Focused Therapy: We’ll identify the thought patterns that keep you stuck and pivot toward practical, real-world solutions.

  • Acceptance & Commitment (ACT): We’ll work on accepting the "noise" of ADHD while committing to actions that align with your deepest values.

  • Mindfulness & Positive Psychology: We’ll practice staying present and shift the focus from what is "broken" to the strengths you already have.

My goal is to help you stop performing and start living in a way that honors how your brain actually works.

Identity & Boundary Work

So often, we get lost in being the "perfect" partner, parent, employee, or student. For those asking, "Who am I when I’m not taking care of everyone else?". We’ll dive into:

  • The "Reinvention" Phase: Moving past people-pleasing to identify your core values and personal non-negotiables.

  • Breaking the Cycle: Identifying family systems and generational patterns that no longer serve you.

  • The Art of the "No": Building the assertiveness to set boundaries with family and peers without the weight of guilt. You don’t have to do what works for "everyone else" at the expense of yourself.

Whether you are a college student navigating the overwhelm of future planning and time management, or you’re rebuilding after a breakup, I help you navigate these "growth seasons." We’ll focus on finding your footing and defining who you are now, not who you used to be.
