Not Lazy. Not Broken. Just Wired Differently.
1:1 therapy for adults with ADHD, trauma, and a lifetime of masking.
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
— Peter Levine
What Therapy Looks like:
I bring clinical expertise, lived experience, and a whole lot of empathy. We’ll explore how ADHD and trauma have shaped your identity-and work together to make sense of what’s yours and what’s just survival mode.
I use Brainspotting, somatic tools, and parts work, all filtered through a neurodivergent-affirming lens. We’ll move at your pace, laugh when we need to, and create space for your real self to take up space.

Conscious Therapy Connections is an in-network provider with BlueCross BlueShield and UnitedHealthcare. I aim to empower clients to have a thorough understanding of their insurance benefits, therefore I would encourage you to contact your insurance to verify benefits and receive an estimated cost per session according to your plan. I am able to provide you with detailed instructions on what information you will need when you call and am happy to support you with navigating any insurance-related questions/concerns!
If you would like to use your benefits with an out-of-network plan, I can provide you with the documentation needed for you to submit to your insurance company. Please note that I am unable to submit claims on your behalf to an out-of-network plan.

We will talk through your history/background and goals for therapy. You are welcome to share anything you feel would be helpful for me to get to know you and what you are hoping to get out of therapy.
Does this sound like you?
it’s no surprise you’re feeling stuck—whether it’s struggling with people-pleasing, blurred boundaries, or navigating the impacts of relational trauma. These patterns can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to sort through them alone. I help clients untangle the connection between their past relationships and present struggles, using an insight-driven approach to uncover the “why” behind your behaviors.
In our sessions, you can be your true self—no holding back, and yes, you can swear! I won’t sugarcoat things because you get that enough outside of therapy. If I notice something that needs to change, I’ll call you out on it. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship that helps you build the deeper, more fulfilling connections you desire.
