I work with adults, women, moms, parents, couples, teens, college students, and therapists.
Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, busy, and deeply caring people who may look like they are holding everything together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, scattered, stuck, or exhausted underneath.
I often work with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, perfectionism, burnout, caregiving stress, parenting stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and identity shifts during major life transitions.
-
Yes. Bay Area Modern Therapy offers individual therapy for people navigating anxiety, caregiver burnout, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, perfectionism, and major life transitions.
Many of our individual therapy clients are high-achieving women, overwhelmed moms, college students, professionals, and parents who feel capable on the outside but anxious, scattered, stuck, or exhausted underneath.
Therapy can help you better understand your patterns, build practical coping tools, reduce shame, and move through seasons of change with more clarity and support.
-
Yes. We offer ADHD therapy for women, moms, high-achieving professionals, and late-diagnosed adults across California.
ADHD in high-achieving women and moms is often missed because it can look like anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, emotional sensitivity, procrastination, or “holding it all together” while quietly struggling underneath.
ADHD therapy can help you better understand your brain, reduce shame, improve emotional regulation, and create more sustainable systems for work, parenting, relationships, home life, and everyday responsibilities.
-
Yes. For clients seeking more clarity, we offer an extended ADHD assessment session that includes a clinical conversation, ADHD screening tools, and personalized next steps for treatment, support, and/or referral for formal diagnosis when needed.
This session can be especially helpful for women and adults who are wondering whether ADHD may be part of their story, particularly if they have spent years being labeled as anxious, disorganized, too sensitive, inconsistent, or “not living up to their potential.”
Please note: this service is designed to provide clinical clarity, screening, education, and next-step recommendations. If you need formal psychological testing, neuropsychological testing, or documentation for school, accommodations, or medication management, we may refer you to the appropriate assessment or medical provider.
-
Yes. Many women come to therapy because they are wondering whether ADHD, anxiety, burnout, hormones, motherhood, or years of carrying too much may be contributing to their overwhelm.
ADHD in women can show up as chronic mental clutter, emotional intensity, procrastination, perfectionism, difficulty following through, rejection sensitivity, burnout, trouble resting, and feeling like you are working twice as hard to keep up.
Therapy can help you make sense of what you are experiencing, understand your brain with more compassion, and create a plan for support that fits your real life.
-
Yes. Anxiety therapy is one of our core specialties.
We work with clients experiencing generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, performance anxiety, panic, perfectionism, overthinking, parenting anxiety, intrusive thoughts, reassurance-seeking, and OCD.
Anxiety can make your world feel smaller by keeping you stuck in avoidance, overthinking, fear of getting it wrong, or constantly trying to prevent something bad from happening. The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable. With the right support, you can learn to understand anxiety, loosen its rigid rules, and build more freedom, confidence, and flexibility in daily life.
-
Yes. We work with clients experiencing OCD symptoms, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, rumination, and anxiety loops.
Treatment for OCD often includes evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention, also known as ERP, along with support for shame, fear, uncertainty, and the emotional exhaustion that can come from living with OCD.
-
Yes. We work with overwhelmed moms navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, identity shifts, resentment, perfectionism, parenting stress, relationship strain, and the invisible mental load of modern motherhood.
Many moms come to therapy feeling like they are managing everyone else’s needs while losing touch with their own. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself again.
-
Yes. Bay Area Modern Therapy offers parent coaching for modern parents raising anxious, sensitive, strong-willed, or neurodivergent kids.
Parent coaching can help you feel more confident and supported as you navigate your child’s anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, school stress, behavior challenges, routines, transitions, or family conflict.
Our approach moves beyond generic parenting advice and helps you better understand your child’s needs, strengthen connection, reduce shame, and respond to hard moments with more clarity and confidence.
