“My brain is ruining my life.”

Your brain is freaking out. It’s telling you to procrastinate. That you’re a bad friend. You can’t start or complete assignments. You’re skin picking, impulsive spending, reviewing every word of the conversation to make sure you “said the right thing.” You’re taking medical leave from your job, taking the semester off, struggling to take care of your body. Yeah, your brain is ruining your life.

I can help you get back in the driver’s seat. You can feel confident in the structure that makes up your life: work/school, finances, relationships, self-care. Many people live well with ADHD and OCD because they found the right help.

How does this work?

I’m here to help you go from avoiding discomfort to feeling sturdy and tough when you approach challenges. I use evidence based practices to teach you strategies that will work for your brain.

For OCD: exposure response prevention (ERP) will help you trust yourself to survive challenges without your “safety behaviors.”

For ADHD: through education and coping skills planning, you will have your brain’s “owner’s manual” memorized. When challenges arise, you will confidently pivot by leveraging your strengths.

For everyone: we’ll use a blend of discussion and tangibles to figure out your boundaries, self-care, and increase your self-esteem. Evidence-based practices like internal family systems (IFS) and self-compassion may be able to change your life.

If you want to:

  • figure out “why am I like this”

  • watch intrusive thoughts flutter away

  • just take the trash out

  • eventually fire your therapist because you’re managing yourself with ease

    Then we should talk.

Background + Experience

I have my Bachelor’s in Social Work and Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to working for myself, I worked in the non-profit sector serving youth and adults in the immigration system, education, child welfare, and community mental health. I’m certified in somatic parts work and a certified clinical service provider for ADHD. I’m autism and PDA informed (pathological demand avoidance/pervasive driver autonomy) and exposure response prevention (ERP) trained.

My lived experience includes my ADHD, my neurodiverse family, and my neurodiverse marriage. I’m also LGBTQIA+ affirming, neuroaffirming, and striving to be an anti-racist therapist. I am delighted to be a therapist for therapists and healthcare workers.

Therapy meetings are 100% virtual.
