If your brain feels loud, relentless, or like it won’t shut off, you’re in the right place.

I work with clients navigating Anxiety, OCD, and ADHD who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and burnout. Whether you’re dealing with rumination, executive dysfunction, or emotional overwhelm, therapy with me focuses on helping you better understand your brain and learn how to work with it, not against it.

Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or exhausted behind the scenes. Our work focuses on building self-awareness, improving your relationship with yourself, and helping you feel more grounded and in control.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start, just a willingness to show up and be honest. I’ll meet you with support, structure, and the right amount of challenge.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Centenary University and a Bachelor’s degree from Montclair State University.

If you’re ready to feel more in control, more understood, and less at war with your mind, I’d be glad to connect.
