I take a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to ADHD, helping clients understand how their brain works without treating their differences as something that needs to be fixed. We can work on executive functioning, emotional regulation, motivation, overwhelm, time management, and the shame that can come from feeling like you’re constantly falling behind. My goal is to help you find strategies that actually fit your brain and your life.

I help clients understand what their anxiety is trying to do for them while learning how to respond to it differently. We might work on overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, emotional regulation, or the need to constantly seek reassurance or control. Using approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT, I help clients build the skills to tolerate uncertainty, trust themselves, and feel more comfortable taking up space in their lives.

I provide an affirming space where LGBTQ+ clients can explore their identity, relationships, mental health, and life experiences without having to explain or defend who they are. I recognize that LGBTQ+ experiences can intersect with family, relationships, school or work, self-esteem, trauma, and mental health. Whether you’re questioning, exploring, coming out, transitioning, or simply looking for a therapist who gets it, I’ll meet you where you are.

I use ACT to help clients move away from fighting or avoiding difficult thoughts and feelings and toward building a life that feels meaningful and aligned with their values. I incorporate ACT concepts around psychological flexibility, acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based action, particularly with clients experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, identity concerns, or feeling stuck.

I integrate DBT skills to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and respond to difficult situations more intentionally. I have completed training in DBT-informed clinical approaches and regularly incorporate skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness into my work with adolescents and adults.

I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is practical and collaborative, helping clients develop more balanced thinking, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in their day-to-day lives. My work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm frequently incorporates CBT strategies.
