My approach
Insight and strategy, in the same room.
Some therapy helps you understand yourself. Some gives you tools. Most people need both. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical: we make sense of what’s happening, then build something you can use between sessions.

What I draw on
Evidence-based methods, tailored to you.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Noticing the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and testing out more helpful ones.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while still acting on what matters to you.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Working through mixed feelings about change, so the next step feels like your choice.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
- Starting from what already works in your life and building on it.
- Executive functioning strategies
- Planning, prioritizing, starting, and following through, with systems built around how your brain works.
What sessions look like
Collaborative, individualized, and practical.
We’ll work together to understand what’s contributing to your current challenges while building skills you can apply in everyday life. Depending on your goals, sessions may include exploring patterns, learning coping strategies, strengthening executive functioning skills, or developing new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions.
Many clients appreciate having space to process emotions while also leaving with concrete tools they can use between appointments.
Anxiety and depression
Often part of the picture.
Anxiety is more than worry. It can look like perfectionism, procrastination, indecision, trouble relaxing, physical tension, irritability, or racing thoughts. For people with ADHD, it can quietly become a coping strategy built on last-minute pressure, overpreparing, and overworking. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety. It’s to keep it from running your life.
Depression is more than sadness. It can feel like numbness, emptiness, exhaustion, self-criticism, or losing joy in things that used to matter. We look at the stressors and patterns behind what you’re feeling, move at a pace that feels manageable, and focus on small, practical steps.
Strengths-based
A diagnosis is a tool, not a limitation.
We work collaboratively to explore whether a diagnosis is helpful for you, so that it serves as a source of insight rather than a label. The focus stays on self-understanding, skill-building, and change that lasts.
Questions
Questions about how we’ll work.
What can I expect in therapy?
Therapy is collaborative, individualized, and practical. We’ll work together to better understand what’s contributing to your current challenges while building skills and strategies you can apply in everyday life. Depending on your goals, sessions may include exploring patterns, learning coping strategies, strengthening executive functioning skills, or developing new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions.
How is your approach different?
I combine evidence-based psychotherapy with practical executive functioning support. Many clients appreciate having space to process emotions while also leaving sessions with concrete tools they can use between appointments. My goal is to help you better understand yourself while making meaningful changes in your daily life.
Do you work with anxiety and depression?
Yes. Anxiety and depression often show up alongside ADHD, burnout, and the pressure of balancing work and family, and I work with both. Anxiety can look like perfectionism, procrastination, indecision, or a mind that won’t switch off. Depression can feel like numbness, exhaustion, self-criticism, or losing interest in things that used to matter. Using ACT, CBT, and solution-focused therapy, we look at the stressors and patterns behind what you’re feeling and take small, practical steps at a pace that feels manageable.
How often will we meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. As you make progress and your needs change, we can discuss adjusting the frequency of sessions together.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
Finding the right therapist is an important decision. If you’re looking for a collaborative, practical approach that combines evidence-based therapy with real-world strategies, I’d be happy to schedule a consultation to answer your questions and help you decide whether we’re a good fit.
