Therapy for ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety – Teens & Adults in Birmingham, AL
Helping You Break Patterns and Thrive
You might feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, stress, or past trauma, and struggle to make sense of your emotions. Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or like you’re not fully in control. If you’re neurodivergent, have ADHD, or are on the autism spectrum, these challenges can feel even bigger. I help teens and adults move past stuck patterns, regain clarity, navigate emotions with confidence, and build a fuller, more connected life that fits who you are.
With practical strategies and compassionate guidance, you can move past self-sabotaging patterns, anxiety, or trauma and start thriving on your terms.
Many of my clients say things like:
“I feel stuck and can’t figure out why I keep doing the same things.”
“My emotions feel out of control sometimes.”
“I struggle to make decisions.”
“I struggle to stay on track.”
“I can’t seem to focus, no matter how hard I try.”
“I get distracted easily and forget things constantly.”
“I start tasks but never finish them.”
“I feel like my brain is always racing.”

I work with adults and teens who want to feel more in control of their emotions, navigate life’s challenges with clarity, and break patterns that keep them stuck—like self-sabotage, anxiety, or addiction. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or frustrated by recurring thoughts, behaviors, or emotional patterns, even while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.
Therapy with me focuses on understanding what’s happening beneath these struggles, experimenting with practical strategies, and building flexibility, resilience, and self-compassion. I also provide affirming support for neurodivergent adults and teens, including those with ADHD or autism, helping you thrive in ways that fit who you are.
My Approach
Empathy is one of the most powerful tools in counseling. I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood, supported, and not alone in what they’re carrying. I view therapy as both a place to be heard and a place to gently explore new ways of approaching life’s challenges. Together, we work to understand what’s beneath the struggle, experiment with new strategies, and build flexibility in how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
My primary therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping clients accept what is outside of their control while taking meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT helps clients change their relationship with them so they no longer run the show. I also integrate techniques from CBT and DBT when a different or more structured approach is helpful.
Who I Work With
I work with clients ages 16 and older and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I have experience supporting individuals navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I also work with clients with ADHD and autistic adults, helping them better understand their neurodivergence and develop practical, compassionate ways to adapt and thrive.
