YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Stuck in cycles of worry, repetitive behaviors, avoidance, or internal noise?

You may be managing work, relationships, or family responsibilities while others perceive you as high-functioning. Yet internally, your mind may feel loud, urgent, or constantly on edge. Specialized, evidence-based therapy that goes beyond coping.

Many adults describe feeling stuck in cycles of worry, mental checking, avoidance, tics or repetitive behaviors, or patterns that offer brief relief, only to return again. Even when life looks stable on the outside, living with constant internal noise can be exhausting and difficult to sustain.

Adults often seek therapy after trying to handle things on their own for a long time, or after spending years in talk therapy that hasn't led to meaningful relief. Specialized support can take you on a path towards lasting change.

"Together, we focus on understanding what maintains these challenges and learning how to respond in ways that reduce symptoms and help you move toward a life that feels more meaningful, flexible, and aligned with your values."

The Process

What therapy looks like.

While therapy is individualized, the process often includes three phases designed to create lasting, meaningful change.

🔍1

Understand & Collaborate

We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your current challenges and what maintains them. Together we develop a treatment plan based on your goals, values, and the life you want to live.

🛠️2

Learn New Ways to Respond

You'll learn practical skills to respond to anxiety, OCD, or related challenges in new ways — responding in alignment with your values rather than fear or avoidance.

✨3

Gradual, Meaningful Steps

Change happens step by step. Through repeated practice and new learning, your brain begins to build more flexible and adaptive patterns — supporting long-term relief and the life you desire.

Affirming care for
different minds.

I work with neurodivergent adults, including autistic adults and adults with ADHD, and provide care that is affirming, respectful, and adapted to different ways of thinking, processing, communicating, and experiencing the world.

Adapted for How You Think

Treatment is adapted with attention to sensory needs, communication styles, pacing, and learning preferences — so therapy works with you, not against you.

ONLINE THERAPY FOR ADULTS

Specialized care from
your own space.

In addition to in-person therapy, I offer adult therapy through secure telehealth for clients located in California. Online therapy can make it easier to access specialized care when anxiety, time constraints, or daily responsibilities make in-person sessions difficult.

The structure, collaboration, and effectiveness of therapy remain the same, even with the flexibility of meeting from your own space.
