My Expertise
My Background
My Expertise
I support adults living with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression and life changes. For those with adult ADHD, support focuses on attention, planning, rejection sensitivity, overwhelm, and emotion regulation. For gay men and LGBTQIA+ communities, affirming care is provided for greater comfort in identity, relationships, family, and minority stress.
Evidence-based, supportive therapy
Anxiety and Panic
Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment
Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment
Anxiety and panic can feel overwhelming, but therapy offers tools to bring calm and confidence back into daily life. Together we explore your experiences, ease unhelpful thought patterns, and build coping strategies for steadier sleep, calmer days, and more trust in your ability to handle challenges. Sessions blend compassionate support with evidence‑based approaches like CBT and relaxation skills, always paced in a way that feels safe for you.

Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment
Living with ADHD can bring challenges in focus, planning, and managing overwhelm. Therapy provides clear strategies to support daily routines, strengthen confidence, and ease emotional swings. Assessments clarify whether symptoms fit ADHD or something else, and together we create tailored, practical tools for steadier routines and calmer focus.
Depression & Low Motivation
Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment
Depression & Low Motivation
Depression can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from what matters. Therapy offers gentle structure, energy‑building habits, and mindset tools to reconnect with purpose. Together we work toward steadier motivation, practical routines, and a compassionate path forward.
Trauma and PTSD
LGBTQIA+ Wellbeing
Depression & Low Motivation
Trauma can leave lasting impacts, but recovery is possible. Sessions provide a steady, safe space to reduce distress, practice grounding skills, and process memories at a pace that feels right. The focus is always on strengthening resilience, restoring a sense of safety, and supporting daily life.
LGBTQIA+ Wellbeing

Life Transitions

Major changes—study, career, relationships, relocation, migration—can bring uncertainty alongside opportunity. Therapy provides support to clarify next steps, set boundaries, strengthen identity, and build calm momentum through transition.
