Therapy for Adults Who Want Life to Feel More Doable

You may be here because everyday life feels harder than it should. You might feel overwhelmed, scattered, stuck, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together.

I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults, including EMDR (specific evidence-based trauma therapy to reprocess old memories), and I specialize in working with people who struggle with attention, organization, follow-through, emotional overwhelm, and self-blame. Our work blends emotional depth with practical, real-life support so therapy helps not just insight—but daily functioning.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I’ve helped many people process traumatic memories and experiences. Over time, I noticed something important: even when trauma therapy was effective, many clients continued to struggle with everyday life—getting started, staying organized, following through, or managing overwhelm.

For many, these struggles weren’t about unresolved trauma or lack of effort. They reflected how their brains manage attention, time, and energy.

As I deepened my work in this area—and through my own ongoing neurodivergent learning—it became clear how often ADHD goes unrecognized in adults, and how much unnecessary self-blame that creates. This understanding shaped the way I work today.

How We Work Together

I use a blend of trauma-informed therapy and ADHD-informed, real-life support, based on what will be most helpful for you at any given time.

For many people, the first step is support with everyday functioning—things like follow-through, organization, emotional overwhelm, and building systems that actually work with how your brain operates. This work is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping life feel more manageable.

I also offer EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach for processing traumatic memories and experiences. EMDR can be deeply effective, and we may use it when unresolved trauma is clearly contributing to current challenges.

Sometimes EMDR is central to the work. Other times, it’s more helpful to start by stabilizing daily life and building support around attention, stress, and executive functioning. We move at a pace that feels appropriate and grounded for you.

You don’t need to know ahead of time what you need. We’ll figure that out together.

How ADHD-Informed Therapy Supports You

When ADHD is part of the picture, therapy often needs to include more than insight alone.

In our work together, we may focus on:

  • Understanding how your brain actually works, rather than fighting it

  • Breaking tasks and goals into small, doable steps

  • Creating systems that support follow-through and reduce overwhelm

  • Working with stress and emotional overload instead of against it

  • Letting go of shame and “why can’t I just…” thinking or other negative beliefs like, “I’m lazy, not motivated, stupid …”

This work is flexible and individualized. We focus on what helps you function better in real life—not on forcing change through pressure, productivity hacks, or perfection.

What This Work Is (and Isn’t)

This isn’t about fixing you or pushing productivity. It’s about helping you understand your patterns, build trust with yourself, and create structures that support your life.

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin. Some people come after an ADHD assessment; others come because they recognize themselves in these struggles.

This work helps you understand your brain, build on your strengths, and create support where you need it—while honoring differences instead of forcing everyone to fit into the same box.
