ADHD can shape the way you move through the world—impacting confidence, relationships, and daily life. Many of my clients already understand their patterns but feel stuck in creating change. I help by addressing both the practical and emotional sides of ADHD. Together, we strengthen executive functioning, reduce overwhelm, and build self-compassion. My approach combines DBT, psychodynamic insight, and skill-building so you can create structure, manage challenges, and step into lasting change.

Relationships can bring our deepest joys and hardest challenges. I work with couples and partners who feel disconnected, caught in conflict, or longing for deeper intimacy. My approach blends relational depth, Gottman-informed tools, and psychodynamic insight to uncover cycles and shift unhelpful patterns. In our work, I balance compassion with direct feedback, creating space for vulnerability, accountability, and growth. Together, partners learn to strengthen trust and rebuild closeness.

Trauma changes how we see ourselves, others, and the world, leaving lasting imprints on both mind and body. I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma as they reclaim safety, trust, and connection to self. Many people are aware of the ways trauma impacts them but feel unable to create change. My approach combines IFS, DBT, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy to connect insight with action. Together, we work to process the past, reduce symptoms and interrupt cycles.

DBT offers powerful skills for managing emotions, relationships, and distress. I have extensive training in DBT and use it to help clients build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Many people already know what they “should” do but struggle to put it into practice. DBT bridges that gap, providing real tools to shift patterns and create change. My approach integrates DBT with relational depth so clients feel both challenged and supported in growth.

IFS recognizes that we are made up of many parts; protective, wounded, and wise. I am trained in IFS and use it to help clients connect to their inner system with curiosity and compassion. This approach is especially powerful for trauma, as it allows healing without re-traumatization. I help clients unblend from protective patterns, care for exiled parts, and build trust in their core Self. IFS creates space for integration, resilience, and a renewed relationship with oneself.

Psychodynamic therapy explores the roots of our patterns and the unconscious ways they shape our present lives. My expertise comes from years of training and practice using psychodynamic insight to help clients examine defenses, relational dynamics, and past experiences. I combine this depth work with direct feedback and practical strategies, so clients don’t just gain awareness but also the ability to act differently. This integration fosters meaningful and lasting transformation.
