How therapy works

Your Path to Healing and Self-Discovery

Living with both ADHD and anxiety can feel like your mind is constantly in overdrive—racing thoughts, trouble focusing, and that endless pressure to just get it together. I get how overwhelming and frustrating that can be.

In therapy, we’ll work together to untangle the ways these two experiences interact—like how anxiety can make it harder to start a task, and how ADHD can make it harder to stop worrying once your mind latches on. We’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and build tools that actually work for your brain, whether that’s improving focus, managing overwhelm, or being a little kinder to yourself along the way.

My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more capable, and more connected to yourself—so daily life feels less like a battle and more like something you can move through with confidence.
