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.

You probably feel stuck. You are trying so hard but you still can't seem to stop bracing for things to go wrong. You overreact, then over-apologize. You feel everything intensely or nothing at all. Relationships that should feel safe somehow still don't. You're exhausted by how hard you work just to feel okay. A voice in your head probably tells you how much of a burden you are to others and how you should be able to figure it out.

This isn't a character flaw. It's what happens when your nervous system spent a long time learning to survive .

Many of my clients come in wondering if what they went through was "bad enough" to explain how they feel. It was. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help.

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.
