About My Clients
I work best with thoughtful, sensitive, high-responsibility people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns they can’t untangle. Many of my clients are neurodivergent and navigating ADHD, OCD/intrusive thoughts, emotional sensitivity, people-pleasing, relationship wounds, or emotional abuse. My clients usually want more than a therapist who just nods; they want warmth, insight, honesty, humor, and tools that translate into real life.
My Background and Approach
My style is warm, collaborative, direct, practical, and often gently humorous. I want therapy to feel deeply validating, but also useful outside the therapy room. I draw from CBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed therapy, and neuroscience-informed psychoeducation. Together, we may explore how past experiences shaped your current patterns, how your nervous system responds to stress, how ADHD or OCD may be affecting daily life, and how old survival strategies may now be getting in the way of the relationships and life you want. I am not a blank-wall therapist. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, psychoeducation, and honest reflection into the room. Sometimes healing needs tenderness; sometimes it needs clear language; and sometimes it needs the kind of well-timed humor that helps you breathe again without pretending the hard things aren’t hard.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a space where people do not have to perform, shrink, or pretend everything is fine. I care deeply about helping people untangle the messages they absorbed from families, relationships, culture, and systems that taught them to doubt themselves, over-function, silence their needs, or measure their worth by productivity, appearance, caretaking, or achievement. My work is grounded in the belief that people are not broken; they adapted. Healing is often about understanding those adaptations with compassion, then choosing which ones still serve you and which ones are ready to change. I value authenticity, emotional honesty, feminism, neurodivergent-affirming care, LGBTQ+ affirming care, curiosity, humor, and the messy, brave process of becoming more fully yourself. I also believe humor can be sacred — not as avoidance, but as a way to bring light, breath, and humanity into dark places.
