If you’re dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, or challenges related to ADHD, it’s important to know that your experiences are valid. Struggles like these don’t make you any less capable or deserving of support. It’s easy to fall into the habit of self-criticism or pushing yourself harder, but those approaches often leave you feeling more depleted. I’m here to help you find a different way forward that fosters growth and self-acceptance.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, recovering from trauma, or working to build your self-confidence, I’ll work alongside you. You might want to clarify your purpose or develop better organizational skills to improve your daily life. Together, we’ll use practical, evidence-based strategies to help you build resilience, strengthen executive functioning, and feel more in control.

I work with kids, teens, adults, and families, with a focus on ADHD, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is supportive and client-centered, helping you focus on what matters to you instead of meeting outside expectations. I aim to help you tap into your strengths, create realistic plans for change, and feel more capable in your everyday life.

This process isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress toward a life that feels more balanced and meaningful. Let’s start that work together.
