Safety in the Body.
In Person in Seattle | Virtual Throughout Washington State
Therapy for women with ADHD who are ready to move beyond perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout into grounded, authentic living.
You’ve spent so much of your life trying to get it right, showing up for everyone else, working hard to keep it all together, pushing through even when you’re exhausted.
On the outside, you seem capable and composed, but inside your mind rarely slows down. You want to feel confident, calm, and connected… but no amount of trying harder seems to work.
You might relate if you…
Feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough,” and worry people wouldn’t like the real you.
Read the room before you even enter it, people-pleasing to keep the peace or avoid rejection.
Chase validation through productivity or perfection, but still feel behind or unsatisfied.
Swing between burnout and overdrive, your mind races, your body tenses, and rest never feels truly restful.
It takes a lot of courage to be on your healing journey and I want provide a moment for you to take a breath and acknowledge your effort.
What to Expect
Most therapy wants to talk it out.
We’ll also feel it out.
👉 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — understand your thoughts and choose what matters
👉 Somatic Work — teach your body what calm actually feels like
👉 Attachment & Parts Work — heal old patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism
👉 ADHD-Affirming Tools — build structure and self-compassion that fit you
Because your brain and body have always been trying to protect you, therapy just helps them learn a new way to do it.
I believe that you are the expert in your healing journey and I bring expertise from the therapeutic field and together we explore what resonates with you.
If you’ve been wondering why “trying harder” never seems to help, there’s a good reason.
Your brain and body have been running old scripts, ones that once kept you safe but now keep you small.
You’re not broken, your nervous system has simply been working overtime to keep you safe. These patterns often form early, especially for those who learned to read every situation before reacting.
Therapy can help you understand where these responses come from, regulate what feels overwhelming, and create space for the calm, confidence, and authenticity you’ve been craving.
Why This Actually Works
Because your nervous system and your mind both need to feel safe — not just understand safety.
You’ve already read the books, tried the planners, and told yourself to stop overthinking. But you can’t outthink a dysregulated nervous system. Here’s what actually helps:
👉 It’s Science-Backed
Both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Somatic approaches are grounded in research on how the brain learns, unlearns, and rewires. You’re not just talking — you’re building new neural pathways that help calm your body and clarify your choices.
👉 Mind-Body Connection
ACT helps you understand and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while somatic and polyvagal tools teach your nervous system that it’s safe to slow down, feel, and connect.
👉 Sustainable Change means Consistency over Intensity
Our work unfolds at your pace. You’ll never be pushed, only invited to step into your courageous and compassionate self. Over time, you stop managing symptoms and start embodying calm, clarity, and genuine confidence.
Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are, it’s about reclaiming the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen, heard, and loved.

My clients are smart, sensitive, and tired of overthinking everything.
They’ve read the books, done the mindset work, maybe even been to therapy before, but still feel stuck in the same cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout.
