I treat ADHD by helping clients understand how their brain actually works, not how it is “supposed” to work. Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, motivation, burnout, shame, and nervous system support. We build realistic routines, work with attention and creativity, and reduce self-blame so life feels more manageable, grounded, and sustainable.

I help clients with anxiety and social anxiety understand what their nervous system is doing and why. Therapy focuses on reducing overwhelm, easing constant worry, working with avoidance, and building a sense of safety in the body. We untangle self-doubt, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment so you can feel more grounded, confident, and present in daily life.

I treat PTSD by helping clients feel safe in their body again, not by forcing them to relive the past. Therapy integrates trauma-informed counseling with art therapy to gently process memories, emotions, and survival responses that words alone cannot reach. We focus on stabilization, nervous system regulation, and restoring a sense of control, trust, and connection.

Art therapy is the central part of my clinical approach, especially for trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergent clients. I use creative processes to access emotions, memories, and nervous system responses that are often difficult to reach through words alone. This work supports regulation, insight, and agency in a way that is gentle, experiential, and informative.

I use CBT as a flexible, integrated framework rather than a rigid protocol. My approach helps clients notice thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that contribute to distress, while also honoring the role of the nervous system, history, and context. CBT is blended with somatic, relational, and creative tools to support sustainable change.

I use IFS to help clients map their inner world as a system of parts rather than problems. We identify protective parts, wounded parts, and access the core Self, which holds clarity and compassion. From there, clients build relationships with their parts, reducing shame and creating internal harmony rather than fighting themselves.
