About Me
About Me
I specialize in working with adults and couples with ADHD, especially when it shows up alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles. I work with folks who are ready to deepen their self-understanding, move through unresolved feelings, and stop fighting their own brains.
My Approach
I'm a trained couples and family therapist, and I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and a healthy dose of humor. I believe healing isn't about fixing you. It's about reconnecting with the parts of you that already know how to survive, feel, and grow.
You have the most lived experience of anyone who's ever tried to be you. My role isn't to override that. It's to walk beside you, reflect what I see, ask hard questions, and create space for you to push back when something doesn't fit.
I take a collaborative, whole-person approach, looking at mental, physical, and relational health together. In individual work, I integrate evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), SE (Somatic Experiencing), and IFS (Internal Family Systems). This helps us build insight, release what's stuck in the body, and create sustainable tools for change. In couples work, I pull from EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and the Gottman Method.
As someone with ADHD myself, I understand how complex and layered these experiences can be. I know what it's like to work harder than anyone sees and still feel like you're falling short. I gravitated to this work because I kept seeing the same pattern: people with ADHD who'd tried therapy that focused only on behavior change ended up with more shame and frustration. Or they'd treat the anxiety and depression without addressing how ADHD affects their ability to navigate the world, and so they kept collecting evidence that they couldn't function like those around them. I realized I could bridge that gap, translating between ADHD and neurotypical experiences in a way that actually helps people build lives that work.
A Bit About Me
Outside the therapy room, I'm usually hanging out with my partner and our two dogs, Piper and Pancho. I love cooking, hiking, camping, yoga, solving sudoku puzzles, watching basketball, reading books not related to work, and spending long evenings outside with friends.
If You're Ready
If you're in that uncertain space where something needs to shift but you're not quite sure how, I'd be honored to help you navigate it. You don't have to do it alone.
