I am a great listener and all about understanding and fulfilling your goals.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel like sitting across from someone who simply nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?” I’m Adrienne, and I bring warmth, honesty, and real conversation into the therapy room. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. My clients often appreciate that I truly listen, but I’m also willing to gently challenge you when it can help you see something differently. You can come as you are, without having the perfect words or a clear plan for what needs to change.

As an LCSW-C, with 6 years of therapy experience, I am happy to work with clients ages 18-55. I specialize in working with pregnant and postpartum women and those with substance abuse struggles.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, depression, or family challenges start to take over. You may find yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to slow down, sort through what’s happening, and discover practical tools for lasting change. Together, we’ll focus on building emotional resilience, improving relationships, and helping you feel more confident and in control of your life.
