I believe effective therapy is both practical and deeply relational. That means we’ll use evidence‑based tools to reduce symptoms—like panic attacks, overwhelm, and executive‑functioning challenges—while also attending to the relational and developmental roots of those struggles. My work is trauma‑informed, humanistic, and flexible so we can tailor treatment to your unique needs, identity, and goals.

Common ways people search that describe what I treat:

“therapy for anxiety near me”

“ADHD therapist for adults”

“how to stop overthinking”

“therapy for perfectionism”

“CPTSD treatment near me”

“LGBTQ therapist near me”

“transgender therapist near me”

I draw from several complementary modalities and match them to where you are in the healing process:

EMDR for processing complex trauma and reducing the intensity of traumatic memories.

Trauma‑informed care to prioritize safety, stabilization, and pacing—especially for CPTSD and complex histories.

Humanistic principles that center your values, autonomy, and whole self rather than just symptoms.

Relational therapy to make the therapeutic relationship itself a corrective, healing experience.

Together these approaches help with immediate relief (less anxiety, fewer panic attacks, better focus) and deeper change (more stable regulation, improved relationships, and integration after trauma).

Anxiety and panic: We’ll combine grounding, nervous‑system regulation, cognitive reframing, and relational work so you stop living in constant fight/flight and start feeling safer in your body and relationships.

ADHD: Practical executive‑function coaching (time mapping, chunking, accountability) alongside identity work and acceptance so you build systems that honor how your brain actually works.

Perfectionism: Gentle behavioral experiments, compassion‑focused work, and relational repair to loosen rigid rules and reduce chronic self‑criticism.

Complex trauma / CPTSD: A phased approach—stabilization and skills, trauma processing (EMDR when you’re ready), and integration through relationship and meaning‑making.

LGBTQ and transgender‑affirming care: Identity‑affirming therapy that addresses minority stress, coming out, gender exploration, and the specific trauma that queer and trans people often face.

We usually start with weekly sessions to build safety and momentum and then adjust based on your needs, schedule, and resources.

Progress is measured in both symptom change (fewer panic attacks, better focus, smoother sleep) and relational gains (feeling seen, steadier boundaries, more self‑trust).

Treatment is collaborative: we set goals together and revisit them regularly so therapy stays practical and aligned with your life.

If you’re searching for “therapist near me who takes HSA” or “ADHD therapist who understands trauma,” I welcome those conversations and will help you figure out a plan that fits your needs and budget.

If you’re looking for trauma‑informed, LGBTQ‑affirming therapy that combines EMDR, humanistic values, and relational care—whether for anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, or complex trauma—I offer a free 20‑minute consultation to explore fit and next steps.

Many struggles—anxiety, perfectionism, attention challenges, and complex trauma—are rooted in relationships. The way we connect in session becomes part of the work: learning new ways to be seen, setting limits, tolerating vulnerability, and practicing self‑compassion. Healing happens in relationship, not just in techniques.
