How ADHD, Anxiety, and Trauma Can Show Up
You might notice:
Difficulty focusing paired with constant mental noise
Anxiety that feels physical, not just cognitive
Emotional swings, shutdown, or hypervigilance
Trouble resting, even when nothing is “wrong”
Feeling behind, defective, or frustrated with yourself
These aren’t personal failures. They’re adaptive responses that once made sense—and now need updating.
This Might Be Right for You If…
Your mind feels busy, scattered, or hard to slow down
Anxiety shows up as overthinking, tension, avoidance, or irritability
You feel emotionally reactive—or emotionally shut down
You struggle with follow-through, boundaries, or self-trust
Past experiences still affect your present reactions
You’re tired of managing symptoms without understanding them
You don’t need to hit a breaking point to seek support.
You just need a space where your experience is taken seriously.
You can be high-functioning and struggling.
Insightful and overwhelmed. Capable and exhausted by your own mind.
ADHD, anxiety, and trauma often overlap—and when they do, life can feel loud, tense, or unsteady even when things “look fine” from the outside. This is individual therapy for people who want real psychological support—not quick fixes, labels, or surface-level coping strategies.
Let Me Guide You Through This…
Reduce overwhelm, rumination, and internal pressure
Build structure and consistency without shame or rigidity
Develop coping tools that actually fit your life
Strengthen self-trust, emotional steadiness, and resilience
Not by forcing yourself to function better — but by working with your nervous system instead of against it.
What We Work On Together
Therapy can help you:
Understand how ADHD, anxiety, and trauma interact in your nervous system
Regulate emotional and physiological responses instead of fighting them
A Reassuring Reframe
You’re not broken.
Your nervous system learned how to survive—and now it’s ready for something different.
With the right support, change doesn’t have to feel forced or overwhelming.
It can feel steady, intentional, and grounded.
What to Expect From the Process
Therapy isn’t a quick fix—but it is supportive, structured, and intentional.
You can expect:
A space where you don’t have to perform or have it figured out
Honest conversations without judgment
Support in understanding yourself more clearly
Tools that help you feel steadier over time
Change happens gradually, and that’s okay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most common questions I’m asked about therapy.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy may be a good fit if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally ungrounded, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand—and want deeper, ongoing support to work through them.
If you’re unsure whether therapy, coaching, or a digital intensive is the right starting point, we can talk that through during your clarity call.
What issues do you help with in therapy?
I work with adults around:
Anxiety and chronic stress
ADHD and executive functioning challenges
Trauma and nervous system dysregulation
Dating and relationship patterns
Breakups and relational loss
Identity shifts, life transitions, and solo seasons
You don’t need to fit into one category to benefit.
Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?
Yes. I offer:
In-person therapy in San Diego, CA
Telehealth therapy for clients located in California, Colorado, and Utah
How is therapy different from coaching or digital programs?
Therapy is licensed mental health treatment and is appropriate when you’re working with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, or significant emotional distress.
Coaching and digital intensives focus on education and skill-building.
Therapy allows for deeper exploration, nervous system care, and clinical support—paced according to your capacity.
If another option is a better fit, I’ll let you know honestly.
Do I need to have a specific diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many people start therapy because something feels off, overwhelming, or confusing—even if they don’t have a diagnosis.
We focus on understanding your experience, not labeling it unnecessarily.
How do I get started?
You can start by scheduling a clarity call. We’ll talk through:
What you’re hoping for
What kind of support makes sense
Whether therapy feels like the right next step
There’s no pressure to commit beyond that conversation.
Is therapy short-term or long-term?
That depends on your goals and needs.Some people come for short-term, focused work. Others stay longer to explore patterns, heal past experiences, or build emotional steadiness over time.We’ll revisit pacing and goals together as therapy unfolds.
