About
There's a gap between how your life looks and how your life feels.
I help people close it.
Sixteen years in, I'm still most interested in the clients who almost didn't reach out.
The ones who have been thinking about this for a long time, or who nearly filled out the consultation form and then closed the browser because they weren't sure it was really “bad enough” to count. The people whose lives look functional from the outside, but who quietly know everything is taking more effort than it should.
Fit
Those are my people.
Successful doesn't always mean fulfilled. More often, it means you've gotten very good at making hard things look manageable. Most of my clients have been carrying that gap for years before they find their way to our work.
This often looks like
You look competent, but everything takes more effort than it should
You wonder if ADHD, anxiety, burnout, or executive function issues are part of the picture
You are doing well on paper and still feel off in your own life
You keep telling yourself it isn't serious enough to justify therapy
You almost reach out, then talk yourself out of it
Why This Work
I got into psychology because I've always been interested in how people understand themselves, and how rarely we give ourselves the same curiosity we'd give anyone else.
Early in my career, I worked broadly: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, identity questions, career transitions. Over time, a pattern emerged. I kept finding myself drawn to the clients whose lives looked functional from the outside while something underneath still wasn't adding up.

How I Work
The work should feel useful, not vague.
This is the part people usually want to get a feel for: not just what I do, but what it feels like to be in the room with me.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are professionals, partners, students, artists, athletes, doctors, executives, and parents dealing with some version of ADHD (diagnosed or suspected), anxiety, burnout, executive function challenges, relationship strain, or the specific exhaustion of building a life that looks successful but doesn't quite fit right.
If you want the longer version, that's what the Who I Work With page is for.Who I'm Not The Right Fit For
I don't do crisis intervention or acute psychiatric work. I'm a solo practitioner, which means I'm not built to provide the level of support that effective crisis care requires. If that's where you are, I'll help connect you with someone who is.
I'm also not the right therapist for someone who wants a passive, largely reflective experience. My sessions move. We'll have structure, goals, and I'll ask you to try things between sessions.
If that sounds like what you're looking for, let's talk.
