Background
I've been in my own head long enough to understand yours.
I start from how it actually feels: loud thoughts, long loops, and the gap between who you are and who you think you should be.
I'm an LCSW with nearly two decades of experience across private practice, community mental health, and psych ER.
I've worked with people in real crisis and people who look completely fine but are quietly exhausted.
Some days you're holding it together. Other days your brain won't shut up and you're Googling‘is this normal’ at 2am. I've sat with a lot of those 2am brains.

A little personal
The things that inform this work.
The rest of my life shows up in the room too, not as a script, but as context.
I have ADHD myself. I know what it's like to live inside a brain like that: the time blindness, the task paralysis, the shame spiral from years of being told to just try harder.
I don't see ADHD as a character flaw. I see it as a nervous system that works differently, and I work with it accordingly.
I'm also a former foster parent and current adoptive parent. If you grew up in foster care, were adopted, or have a complicated family history, I understand that on a personal level, not just a theoretical one.
That experience shapes how I work with non-traditional families, chosen family, and what it takes to heal when your beginnings were messy.
You don't have to be in crisis for this to be worth it.
From the outside, it usually looks fine.

How I work
I actually pay attention. I'm direct without being harsh.
A lot of the work comes down to rebuilding self-trust.
Most of my clients don't struggle because they lack insight. They struggle because they've learned not to trust their own reactions, memory, or instincts.
Over time, that creates anxiety, burnout, and constant self-doubt.
Therapy is where we slow that down.
We figure out which thoughts are actually yours, and why the others are still running the show.
It's not about fixing you.
It's about figuring out what's yours.
In session, we move from the story you tell yourself to what's under it, gently, and at your pace.
What it feels like to work together
I finally said things I'd never said out loud. She didn't make it small, and she didn't make it dramatic, either. For the first time, it felt like someone got it.
You don't have to fall apart for this to matter.
