Unpack the shame around productivity and build practical executive functioning tools for planning, time management, and task initiation. We will process later-in-life ADHD diagnoses, navigate burnout, and reframe perfectionist "shoulds." Together, we co-create daily routines that work with your unique brain wiring so you can thrive.

Warm, grounded, and deeply practical. Clients apprecciate that I don't use rigid lectures or pathologizing labels. They describe our sessions as a safe space where they feel truly seen, validated, and equipped with real somatic and cognitive tools to manage overwhelm, drop the mask, and rebuild unshakeable self-trust.

Our first session is a low-pressure, collaborative conversation focused on establishing felt safety. We will explore what brought you to therapy, how overwhelm shows up in your body and daily life, and what your ideal future looks like. You set the pace--there is never any pressure to dive into painful history before you are ready.

I believe that living in a world not built for your brain wiring creates heavy, unnecessary shame--but it does not mean you are flawed. I became a therapist to help neurodivergent adults and individuals carrying chronic stress move out of survival mode and into a life grounded in self-trust, nervous system ease, and personal integrity.

My practice integrates Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). In addition to ADHD support, I specialize in relational trauma recovery, men's compulsive behavior recovery, and grief support. I also proudly serve trade, maritime, and union members (navigating Taft-Hartley trust funds and TPAs).
