Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked.

Life can feel hard some times and I know reaching out for support is an act of self compassion. Welcome. Working with client's interests/comfort I interweave neurobiology, body based (somatic) interventions and expressive arts therapy, as well as ‘talk therapy’. These are engaged through a resilience and trauma informed lens. No creative/ artistic experience necessary, only your curiosity. I both have life and clinical experience with ADHD and learning differences and work with clients who live with ADHD. Particularly late treatment or late diagnosis, and especially where it overlaps with relationships, career and parenting.

As a man, you face distinct challenges that often are not discussed. You might feel isolated, wrestling silently with emotions that seem to flare up, leading to anger or other reactions you'd rather not experience. You might feel disconnected from who you truly are, or have become so accustomed to unhealthy coping strategies that your own identity seems blurred. You may feel as though you're navigating this journey alone, but I'm here to assure you that there's a way forward - a path towards better understanding and healthier responses. Together, my goal is to help discover the real you and build towards a more balanced life.

You enjoy close relationships, set clear goals, and have the drive to achieve. However, sometimes you become disconnected — Disconnected from your relationships and who you want to be. Maybe the disconnect is mild. Or maybe it’s more serious. You have spent months,… or years, striving to connect with your best self. This may be one of those times. You may have a goal but are unsure about how to get there. Perhaps you are struggling with motivation and self doubt, just surviving, but not thriving! Life isn't about survival its about living!

Life isn’t always straightforward, and it doesn’t come with a manual. Have you ever been stuck, struggled with people-pleasing or setting boundaries, or felt like, no matter how hard you try, you keep repeating the same patterns? I get it. I’ve been there. And I’m here to help. I love psychotherapy because it provides us with an answer to why we’re feeling stuck and how to move forward. I believe that understanding the root causes behind our struggles is crucial to furthering self-awareness and self-compassion, and I help clients like yourself connect the dots within their stories.

My ideal client is anyone that may be struggling with their mood, or are in a difficult life stage that they need help navigating. Whether you are a child with separation anxiety, an adolescent or young adult going through a break up or a first time parent. I welcome clients who have specific goals for therapy and know what they want to work on. I also welcome clients who have no idea what goal setting is or how to set goals.

If you wake up and dread having to start your day - let's talk. Whether it is work, school, home or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don't want or know how to manage. It's starting to feel like you're stuck in a never-ending pattern, caught in cycles of behavior that we know aren't healthy or good for us. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time? What if I told you it’s not your fault? That the brain is wired that way for an important reason?

I specialize in working with families and couples, drawing on my training in Attachment, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to cultivate meaningful, long-lasting connection.
