How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work, and what do sessions look like?

CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions, we work together to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and explore practical ways to respond differently. Sessions are collaborative and supportive, with strategies and tools tailored to your specific concerns and goals. The goal is to help you build skills that you can use in everyday life to feel more confident and better manage challenges.

What's your approach to ADHD, and what does progress look like for clients?

My approach to ADHD is individualized and focused on understanding how symptoms are affecting your daily life, relationships, work, or school. We look at your specific challenges and work together on a treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical strategies to improve focus, organization, and overall functioning. Progress can look different for everyone, but the goal is to help you feel more in control, manage daily responsibilities more effectively, and feel confident in your ability to navigate life with ADHD.
