ADHD Therapy for Adults
ADHD isn’t about laziness, it’s about finding what works for your brain.
What I Help With
(common struggles clients bring in)
Trouble starting or finishing tasks — procrastination or “paralysis”
Feeling scattered, distracted, or overwhelmed by details
Inconsistent motivation and energy
Time blindness — losing track of time or always running behind
Shame, self-criticism, or burnout from “trying harder” for years
Co-occurring anxiety, perfectionism, or overthinking
How I Help
(what we focus on in therapy)
Collaborate on structure that fits your natural rhythms instead of fighting them
Identify and reduce ADHD-related shame and self-criticism
Use evidence-based tools from CBT, mindfulness, and ACT
Strengthen emotional regulation and stress tolerance
Learn “body-based” techniques to manage restlessness and overwhelm
Explore strengths like creativity, curiosity, and hyperfocus — and use them intentionally
Technology Addiction Therapy
Reclaim your time, focus, and sense of control.
Technology connects us, but it can also consume us. What starts as a quick distraction can turn into hours lost to scrolling, gaming, or online content. For some, it’s a way to numb out from stress or loneliness; for others, it becomes a cycle that’s hard to break even when you want to.
If you’ve noticed that screens are affecting your sleep, focus, motivation, or relationships, therapy can help you rebuild balance.
What I Help With
(common struggles clients bring in)
Porn Addiction — turning to it for stress relief or escape, leading to guilt, shame, or performance concerns
Video Game Addiction — losing track of time, using games to avoid responsibilities or emotional discomfort, or conflict with partners/family
Online gambling or sports betting — chasing rewards, hiding losses, or using it to cope with stress
Social media & YouTube Addiction — endless scrolling, comparison, or overstimulation that leaves you anxious or drained
Isolation and shame — keeping habits private or feeling like no one understands how strong the pull is
How I Help
(approaches we use together)
Understand the “why” behind the habit — what triggers the behavior and what it’s helping you avoid or soothe
CBT and mindfulness-based tools — to build awareness, interrupt automatic loops, and practice intentional choice
Behavioral restructuring — gradually reshaping routines, environment, and triggers that feed digital overuse to be healthier and long lasting
Somatic and stress-regulation skills — calming the body so urges feel more manageable in real time
Strength and values work — reconnecting with real goals, purpose, and in-person relationships
A Non-Judgmental Approach
We live in a world built to capture attention. These platforms are intentionally designed to keep you scrolling, watching, and clicking.
I offer a space to step back, understand those patterns, and reclaim the freedom to choose what truly supports your well-being.
Anxiety Therapy
You don’t have to live in fight-or-flight mode.
Anxiety shows up in different ways for everyone: constant worry, Social Anxiety, panic, or just feeling “on” all the time. Whether it’s overthinking at night or avoiding stressful situations, therapy can help you slow down and feel grounded again.

Daily worry, racing thoughts, or trouble relaxing
Social or performance anxiety — fear of judgment or saying the wrong thing
Physical tension, panic sensations, health anxiety, or sleep issues
