Does living life often feel overwheming and joyless? Do you have goals you just can’t seem to meet? Feel like you always have things to do, but never have enough time to do them? Are anxiety, burnout, or depression overtaking your life? Together we can take the chaos in your life and create structure, focus, motivation and more organization to help you reach your goals. With new skills, education, encouragement and accountability, you can start living the life you want. I know that feeling of being stuck, overwhelmed and frustrated, and I would love to work with you to help you make some changes. I not only work with teen and adult ADHD and Executive Function issues, but also depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Regardless of whether you’re struggling with ADHD or anxiety, my holistic approach can help you find healthier tools for living more successfully. We’ll look at all areas of your life, from sleep to diet to effective communication skills and find solutions so you can create the life you need.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My client's goals are priority. If a client needs to talk, we talk. If they are looking for tools and tips, that's what we work on. If my client is looking for an accountability partner, I become one. My focus is on finding out what my client needs from the therapeutic process and structuring our sessions to provide that. Most importantly, I try to provide a safe, nonjudgemental experience so my clients WANT to come to therapy. This process is about you, the client, and I value our time together. Bottom line, I want you to leave our sessions with what you need to lead a healthy, productive, and joyful life.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I love skills and tools so when appropriate, I will use strategies based in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP-used for OCD), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). When working with people experiencing issues with ADHD, we use skills developed for those with executive functioning difficulties.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My passion is working with those who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, and /or life transitions. Burnout (from work or life in general) is also one of my specialties. Why these areas are so important to me is that I've not only worked extensively with these issues, but I've also dealt with them in my personal life. I understand the fear, dread, and overall joy sucking experience of stress. Anxiety, OCD, panic attacks all work to make life miserable. I believe there is hope and help so that life doesn't feel so overwhelming. The interesting way our brains work with ADHD is also something I'm very aware of. Yet our brains can be trained to work a bit more the way we need them to work, and I can show you how. Most of all, I'm empathetic to whatever you bring to our sessions.
