My Approach to Helping
Have you found yourself feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of your path forward? Perhaps you're navigating big life questions like who am I and who do I want to become? What values truly matter to me? What kind of life feels fulfilling? If any of this resonates, you're not alone, and I’m here to help.
I specialize in working with adults seeking clarity, stability, and greater confidence, even when life feels like a series of unexpected detours. Whether you’re adjusting to a new ADHD diagnosis, managing anxiety or depression, facing academic or work stress, or sorting through complex family or relationship dynamics, I’m here to offer compassionate support and practical tools to guide your journey.
Our first session will be a comfortable conversation, a chance for me to learn about your story and goals. From there, we’ll collaborate on a plan that fits you, using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and other strategies tailored to your needs. My approach is flexible and rooted in empathy—I meet you where you are and support you in building resilience, self-understanding, and strategies that align with your life and values.
Together, we’ll navigate your unique challenges and find ways to create a life that feels meaningful and balanced. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d be honored to work with you. Please get in touch with me via my website or email to learn more or schedule your first appointment.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
My own experiences with ADHD and other mental health challenges have deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to helping others. I understand firsthand how isolating and overwhelming these struggles can feel, and this perspective allows me to meet clients with genuine understanding and compassion. My journey has taught me that healing is rarely a straight path, so I approach each client's unique story without judgment, focusing on practical tools and steady support. My personal experiences enrich my work, helping me connect on a deeper level and create a safe space for clients to explore their own paths.
What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
If you are feeling uncertain about therapy, that is completely normal. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you have had mixed experiences in the past. I approach each session with empathy and without judgment, creating a space where you are free to be yourself. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will go at your pace, exploring what feels comfortable and meaningful to you. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported so you can focus on creating positive changes in a way that feels natural to you.
Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance
I believe the client-therapist alliance is one of the most important aspects of therapy. A strong, trusting relationship creates the foundation for meaningful work and allows clients to feel safe, heard, and truly understood. I work to build this alliance by bringing empathy, authenticity, and openness to each session, meeting clients exactly where they are. When we have a strong connection, therapy becomes a space where clients can explore, grow, and make lasting changes with confidence and support.
The Duration and Frequency of Therapy
I believe the duration and frequency of therapy should be flexible, adapting to each client's unique needs and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions to build momentum, especially at the start, while others may prefer bi-weekly or monthly sessions as they make progress. Therapy can be short-term, focused on specific issues, or long-term for deeper growth. We will regularly assess what feels right for you, ensuring therapy supports you at every stage of your journey.
