Accepting New Clients. Are you feeling like your past won't stay there? Like it keeps popping up like an uninvited guest? Or possibly the idea of speaking up or going somewhere new feels equivalent to hiking Mount Everest? Maybe both of these apply or only slightly describe what you're feeling. That's ok! I've worked over the past decade to support people with working through their past so that they feel calm and comfortable in their present. I specialize working with people dealing with anxiety and trauma with a sub-focus of ADHD. My goal is to support you with no longer needing therapy and working myself out of a job.
I use a variety of evidence-based treatments (aka tools proven to work on multiple people repeatedly) tailored to each client and couple. My goal is to work myself out of a job. So we will set goals and constantly check-in to adjust what therapy tools and techniques are needed for you specifically. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and DBT to name a few.
I understand reaching out to a therapist is a HUGE first step. So please reach out to me via phone or email. We can talk and see if I’m a good fit for your needs. As I tell my friends and family - interview your therapist and make sure you feel comfortable and that it's a good fit. I'm here to support you so reach out today and let's talk.

I work with anxiety and trauma (CPTSD or PTSD) and have a sub-specialty of working with ADHD folks. Trauma and anxiety can sometimes feel crippling and if you add on ADHD or executive functioning issues (which can be caused from trauma) it can make it feel unmanageable. Together we can work to support you with lifting this burden and freeing yourself of these issues.
