what to expect from working together

(and why it’s different)

I offer outpatient online therapy for adult clients located in Colorado, Georgia, and Wyoming using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. To learn more about the benefits of online therapy and how it works, check out my Online Therapy page for more information.

If you are experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan, or feel unable to keep yourself safe, a higher level of care is more appropriate than virtual therapy with me. In those situations, I encourage seeking in-person crisis support or emergency services.

no clipboards. no blank stares. just real, human-to-human support.

If you’ve ever sat in a therapy session feeling like you had to “perform” being a good client, you can leave that mask at the virtual door when you’re with me.

In our sessions, I show up as a real person. I’m warm, conversational, usually gentle, sometimes funny, often irreverent, and deeply collaborative. I don’t believe in “fixing” you because I don’t believe you are broken. Instead, we work as a team: you are the expert on your lived experience, and I bring the clinical expertise to help you make sense of it.

An integrative approach for a complex brain.

Because ADHD affects your nervous system, your emotions, and your daily executive functioning, traditional “talk therapy” alone often isn’t enough. My approach is integrative, meaning I pull from different therapeutic toolboxes depending on what your brain and body need on any given day:

  • ADHD-Translational Therapy: We look at your challenges through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. We translate “I’m lazy” into “My executive dysfunction is high today”, and build systems that actually work for your brain.

  • Nervous System Regulation: ADHD is a physical experience. We’ll use mind-body tools to help you navigate the physical anxiety, the sensory overload, and “ADHD burnout” that talk therapy alone can’t reach.

  • Hormone-Informed Care: For those living in estrogen-led bodies, we can explore how your cycle impacts your ADHD and figure out ways to support your “high focus” weeks and your “low dopamine” weeks so you can stop fighting your biology.

  • Self-Compassion Focused: We’ll gently work with your inner critic and the parts of you that feel constant shame, helping to soften those thoughts so you can access your natural, innate self-compassion.

  • Dismantling Internalized Ableism: We will actively work to untangle your self-worth from your productivity. Together, we’ll identify systemic “shoulds” you’ve internalized and replace shame, guilt, and masking with radical self-compassion and accommodation.

What to expect from therapy with me

There is no “right way” to do therapy with me. On any given week, our sessions might look like:

  • A deep-dive processing session where we untangle years of internalized “ADHD shame” and childhood masking.

  • A practical “strategy” session where we literally map out a shame-free system for managing your laundry, cleaning your bathroom, or getting through tasks at work.

  • A grounding session where we focus on calming your overwhelmed nervous system after a brutal week.

And fidget toys, shifting positions, doodling, or working on a crochet project are all highly encouraged while we talk.
