About My Clients
Many of my clients are smart, thoughtful people who are tired of feeling like they should have it all figured out by now. I work with adults and teens with ADHD who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by the gap between what they know they're capable of and what they're able to do day to day. We may also work through anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and the other challenges that often come along for the ride.
How I Can Help You
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Washington, DC. My approach is collaborative, practical, and conversational. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness, but I don't believe in forcing everyone into the same formula or pretending that a diagnosis tells me everything I need to know about you. For many people with ADHD, the challenge isn't simply learning another productivity system or trying harder. Our work can involve finding practical ways to navigate executive functioning challenges while also exploring the patterns, relationships, emotions, and self-beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what's working, what's not, and what you actually want to change. Therapy should help you better understand yourself and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful—not turn you into someone you're not.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My deepest belief is that you are not broken; you are stuck. I view therapy as a dedicated, judgment-free space for you to reclaim your power and freedom to choose a better life, even amidst the noise of anxiety and chronic distraction. While we respectfully acknowledge the ways your past experiences have shaped your current patterns, our focus will always remain squarely on present moment action and your future direction. I believe lasting change comes from accepting what you cannot control, clarifying what truly matters to you, and committing to small, brave steps that align with your values. This process moves you past old coping mechanisms like substance use and toward a genuine sense of meaning, authenticity, and control over your life.
