You may know what you should be doing, yet still find yourself overwhelmed, overthinking, putting other people's needs first, or struggling to follow through. For many adults, ADHD, anxiety, relationship patterns, and difficulty setting boundaries can become intertwined in ways that are exhausting and difficult to understand. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience, I help adults make sense of these patterns and develop practical ways to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. My work is especially focused on ADHD, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationships, boundaries, and the impact of past experiences on how we relate to ourselves and others. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and judgment-free. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with what's happening in your life right now and work together to understand the patterns underneath it.
In our first session, my goal is for you to feel heard rather than judged or analyzed. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been difficult lately, and what you would like to be different. Together, we'll begin identifying patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or problems with boundaries. If ADHD is part of your experience, we'll also look at how ADHD symptoms may be affecting your emotions, relationships, routines, and ability to manage everyday demands. You don't need to know exactly what you need from therapy. We'll figure that out together.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and practical guidance to therapy. I don't believe therapy should be about telling you what to do; I believe it should help you better understand yourself so you can make choices that feel more intentional and aligned with the life you want. I integrate client-centered therapy, attachment-based work, and CBT to help you understand both the "why" behind your patterns and the "how" of creating change. We may work on boundaries, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, anxious thoughts, emotional regulation, perfectionism, or the everyday challenges associated with ADHD. My goal is for you to leave therapy not only feeling supported, but also with greater clarity, self-trust, and practical tools you can use between sessions.
My ideal clients are adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready to better understand themselves—but may feel overwhelmed by patterns they haven't been able to change on their own. They may be navigating ADHD, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or recurring relationship challenges. Some may have spent years feeling like they should be able to manage everything better and wonder why they continue to feel stuck, even when they are trying very hard. You don't have to arrive with a clear diagnosis or a perfectly defined goal. You may simply know that something isn't working and want to understand why. I'm especially drawn to working with clients who want more than symptom management. They want to understand their patterns, develop greater self-trust, build healthier relationships, and feel more comfortable being themselves.
My counseling style is integrative and client-centered. I draw from Integrative Attachment Theory (IAT) to help you understand how past experiences can shape your relationships, boundaries, self-image, and emotional responses. We'll explore your patterns with curiosity and compassion—especially patterns around closeness, trust, conflict, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for other people's emotions. Together, we'll work toward more secure, balanced relationships with yourself and others.
I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide practical tools you can apply right away. Together, we'll identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, or emotional overwhelm and develop more helpful ways of responding. For clients with ADHD, we can also explore practical strategies for managing routines, follow-through, organization, and the emotional impact of feeling overwhelmed or "behind." Throughout our work, I stay collaborative and supportive—you bring your expertise on your own life, and I bring therapeutic guidance to help you move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you strengthen your boundaries, improve your relationships, and feel more confident, calm, and authentic in daily life.
