When stress starts to build, it can affect more than just your day-to-day life. It can impact your mood, your energy, and your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and burnout. Many of my clients are used to juggling responsibilities, caring for others, and pushing through difficult seasons until they realize they're no longer feeling like themselves. You might feel constantly overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or like you can’t fully “turn off” your mind. At the same time, stress can begin to show up in your relationships through miscommunication, distance, or frustration, making it harder to feel connected and supported.

  • Children (5 years and older) & Families

Hi! I specialize in helping adults, teens, and children navigate the unique, everyday challenges of ADHD using a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. In our sessions, I gently blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you or your child manage symptoms, reframe frustrating thought patterns, and process underlying emotional blocks.

As a trained EMDR clinician, I know that ADHD rarely exists in a vacuum—it often brings along anxiety, stress, or a feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. By combining the practical, everyday skill-building of CBT with the deep, healing potential of EMDR, we will work together to improve focus, emotional regulation, and confidence. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space where clients of all ages feel truly heard, deeply understood, and fully equipped to thrive.
