I specialize in working with clients navigating the challenges of ADHD across the lifespan. My approach blends practical executive-function strategies with deeper insight-oriented work, helping people not only organize and focus, but also better understand themselves. Having worked extensively with both adults and adolescents, I emphasize building sustainable systems, reducing shame, and fostering creativity and self-acceptance.

I take a trauma-informed, holistic approach that honors both mind and body. Drawing from modalities such as Internal Family Systems and the Liberation Health framework, I help clients safely process difficult experiences while reconnecting with their strengths, intuition, and sense of wholeness.

My work with depression focuses on helping clients move through patterns of hopelessness, self-criticism, and disconnection. Together we explore practical coping skills alongside the deeper narratives that shape self-worth. I bring warmth, compassion, and authenticity to sessions, helping clients rediscover meaning, cultivate resilience, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and fulfilling.

I integrate mindfulness practices with evidence-based cognitive strategies to help clients step out of cycles of rumination and self-criticism. Through present-moment awareness and compassionate reflection, clients learn practical tools to reduce stress, manage mood, and strengthen resilience. My mindfulness-based approach is grounded, accessible, and adaptable to the unique needs of each person I work with.

ACT helps clients clarify their values, develop psychological flexibility, and move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. I specialize in supporting people to notice and unhook from unhelpful mental patterns while learning to take meaningful action toward what matters most.

I use IFS to help clients explore and understand the different “parts” of themselves. This approach fosters self-compassion and creates space for healing old wounds without judgment. My training and experience allow me to guide clients in building a stronger, more integrated sense of self, which can be especially helpful for trauma, ADHD, and depression.
