Hello, I'm Adrienne. Are you struggling with sadness, low motivation and anxiousness? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, and feel unable to fit it all in? I empower high performers to overcome the burden of anxiety, low motivation and burnout. I use a mix of evidence-based therapy models to get to the root of your struggles. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back in balance. Whether you are dealing with overwhelm or the cycles of anxiety and depression. I am here to help. Seeking therapy can be scary but you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe place to heal and grow. In our sessions, I'll meet you with compassion and create a space free from judgment so you can overcome the hangups and habits that are holding you back. Let's work together!
In our initial session, we'll begin with brief introductions before focusing on the specific challenges you're encountering. This approach allows me to develop a customized plan that we'll work through in our subsequent sessions.
My goal is to help you find clarity and cultivate a lifestyle that leverages your personal strengths. I approach our work from a strengths-based and solution-focused perspective. I’m committed to getting to know you, understanding your values, and supporting your aspirations. I believe in fostering trust and offering a safe space for healing and growth.
I’m passionate about supporting young professionals in the early stages of their careers. My clients are driven to enhance their skills but often lack the tools to turn their ambitions into reality. They frequently grapple with feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their professional journeys. Additionally, I find fulfillment in working with adults who are established in their careers but feel a sense of dissatisfaction with their lives. I also have a deep commitment to helping seniors navigate the challenges of transitioning into the later phases of life.
I was drawn to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because of its practical, solution-focused approach. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be in helping people break free from patterns of negative thinking, overwhelming emotions, and self-doubt. CBT is all about the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my work, I love guiding clients to recognize unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and create new, more empowering ways of thinking. The beauty of CBT is that it’s not just about insight—it’s about action. Together, we work on real, tangible strategies that help my clients feel more in control of their emotions and choices. One of the things I appreciate most about CBT is its adaptability. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or life transitions, we can tailor the approach to meet their unique needs. And as we work through these challenges, I get to witness something truly special—moments when clients realize they can rewrite their story, that they do have the tools to change, and that their struggles don’t define them. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where people feel heard and understood while also equipping them with the skills they need to move forward with confidence. CBT is just one of the ways I help clients regain a sense of balance and peace, and I feel incredibly honored to walk alongside them on that journey.
I am amazed at how something so simple—being present—could create such profound shifts. In a world that often pulls us in a hundred different directions, mindfulness offers a way to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with ourselves. Mindfulness-Based Therapy is at the heart of my work because it teaches us to approach our thoughts and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment. So often, we get caught up in patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, or worry about the future. Through mindfulness, I help my clients learn how to observe these thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. It’s not about forcing the mind to be quiet—it’s about making peace with whatever arises and responding with kindness and intention. In sessions, we might practice grounding exercises, breathwork, or guided meditation, but mindfulness is more than just a technique—it’s a way of being. It helps clients manage anxiety, stress, and emotional ups and downs by creating space between themselves and their reactions. Over time, I’ve seen clients become more resilient, more self-compassionate, and more in tune with what truly matters to them. What I love most about this approach is how it empowers people to bring mindfulness into their everyday lives. Whether it’s taking a deep breath before a difficult conversation, noticing the warmth of the sun on their skin, or gently bringing their attention back to the present moment, these small shifts add up to lasting change. Helping people cultivate mindfulness is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing ourselves—it’s about learning to meet ourselves, just as we are, with warmth and acceptance.
When I first started exploring Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), something about it just clicked—both for me personally and for the clients I work with. Life is full of difficult emotions, self-doubt, and uncertainty, and ACT isn’t about trying to eliminate those challenges. Instead, it teaches us how to make space for them while still moving toward the life we truly want. One of the most powerful aspects of ACT is its focus on values—helping clients clarify what really matters to them and then taking committed action in that direction. In my work, I help people recognize the ways they might be getting stuck in avoidance, self-criticism, or fear, and together, we explore how to shift from struggling with their thoughts and feelings to making room for them. A big part of this process is learning how to unhook from unhelpful thoughts. Instead of believing every harsh or anxious thought as absolute truth, I guide clients in developing mindfulness skills to observe their inner experiences without letting them take over. It’s incredibly freeing to realize that we don’t have to wait until we feel ready or fearless to take meaningful steps toward the life we want. What I love most about ACT is that it’s about living—not just coping. I’ve seen clients move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to stepping into their lives with more openness, purpose, and self-compassion. And that, to me, is what therapy is all about—helping people create lives that align with their deepest values, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.
