ADHD

Living with ADHD often means working twice as hard just to appear like you have it all together. On the outside, you might look successful, high-achieving, or laid-back. But inside? It’s chaos. You’re overwhelmed by the mess you can’t seem to clean up, anxiety, the texts you forgot to respond to, and the mental tabs that never close. You swing between bursts of productivity and complete shutdown — feeling lazy, scattered, or like a constant disappointment.

Whether your ADHD shows up as disorganization and impulsivity or perfectionism and shame, therapy can help you understand your brain instead of battling it. Many of my clients have spent years thinking their struggles were character flaws. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

OCD isn’t just about being tidy or washing your hands too much — it’s a brain stuck in overdrive, sounding alarms about the things you care about most. Your safety. Your relationships. Your values. Your identity. And no matter how many times you tell yourself it’s “irrational,” it still feels terrifying.

OCD goes after what matters most to you, and then convinces you that the fact you’re even having the thought means something is wrong. You might end up checking, confessing, avoiding, replaying, researching, or mentally reviewing—just trying to get some sense of relief. And when that relief doesn’t last, the cycle starts all over again.

It’s exhausting. It’s confusing. And it’s not your fault.

Some transitions feel obvious — graduating, moving, losing a loved one, starting or ending a relationship.

Others are more subtle: waking up and realizing you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Shifting into adulthood. Leaving a belief system. Outgrowing friendships. Feeling stuck in the in-between, like you’re no longer who you were, but not quite who you’re becoming.

Life transitions can stir up anxiety, grief, identity confusion, and a deep sense of uncertainty. Even positive changes — new jobs, moving in with a partner, becoming more independent — can bring up fear, regret, or a surprising sense of grief. Therapy offers a place to make sense of these shifts without pressure or judgment.

You want connection that feels real — safe, reciprocal, and honest — but relationships tend to leave you feeling anxious, confused, or alone.

You might:

Feel scared to be vulnerable, even with people you care about

Fall into people-pleasing, caretaking, or emotional over-functioning

Keep ending up with emotionally unavailable or unsafe partners

Have relationship struggles related to ADHD, OCD, or past trauma

It makes sense if you’re tired — tired of dating games, of being misunderstood, of shrinking yourself just to stay connected.

Populations:

Teens

Being a teenager today is overwhelming — especially when it feels like no one really gets what you’re feeling. I help teens name what’s going on inside, feel more in control, and grow a stronger sense of self — without needing to be perfect.

You’re supposed to be figuring it all out, but you mostly feel stuck, anxious, or behind. I work with young adults navigating life transitions, identity questions, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and self-doubt. Together, we unpack the pressure to perform and build confidence in who you actually are.
