What's My Approach to Therapy?

I specialize in ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression– Help with social anxiety, panic attacks, improving focus, and helping you get back on your feet if life is not going great. (Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly).

------
These are the types of clients I work with:

“I keep falling behind and I don’t know how to catch up.”
“I feel like I’m fighting my own brain every day.”
“I procrastinate, then binge distractions to avoid the guilt.”
“My mind treats everything like an emergency.”

------

This is practical, action-based therapy for real life change, not just endless talking. Self improvement isn’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is for therapy to become less necessary over time, because you’re building a system you can rely on.

We’ll focus on what’s happening in your real life and build tools that work with your brain, not against it. You’ll leave sessions with clear takeaways, and we’ll use small between session steps so progress happens in daily life, not just in the counseling room.

-----

Counseling to help you:
1. Calm your mind
2; Find momentum again
3. Improve focus
4. Feel more in control

-----

More on how I work:
- A nonjudgmental alliance with accountability
A consistent place to be honest, track patterns, and reset quickly when you get off track.

- Evidence informed, skills based approach
Practical tools you can use under stress, not just insight that makes sense on a good day.

-Between session structure
Small weekly experiments and routine changes so progress continues outside the therapy room.

-Focus on self improvement, not just endless talking
We’ll work on what actually helps in the moments you get stuck so you can achieve your goals.

-----

While I can’t guarantee anything, over time many notice:

1. Less anxiety and overthinking
2. Fewer panic spikes and faster recovery when they happen
3. Less procrastination and avoidance
4. Better emotional regulation and more steadiness
5.A calmer nervous system and better sleep

-----

How a first session goes:

Step 1: Understand What’s Getting in the Way
We slow things down and look at the patterns behind your stress, hopelessness, or lack of focus— without pressure or judgment.

Step 2: Set Goals for the Next Few Months
We identify what you want to feel, change, or improve, and break it into small, doable steps.

Step 3: Build a Plan That Fits Your Brain
You’ll get practical strategies you can actually use in real life — tools that work with your brain, not against it.

-----

My goal is progress without overwhelm.
I will work with you and any stress or anxiety this process may cause so that you are better then when you came in.

If this approach feels like it could be a fit, you’re welcome to book a session when you feel ready.

Groups I Work With

    I work with adults, teens, and college students who are dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, focus and motivation challenges, stress from school or work, and overwhelm from technology or social media.
