Hey, I’m Adrienne – I’m Glad You’re Here
Let’s be real—some of us have been carrying the weight of the world for as long as we can remember. We push harder, take on more, and convince ourselves we can handle anything. We’re the ones who don’t stop, who don’t ask for help, because we don’t have that luxury. Sound familiar?
You don’t have time for a therapist who doesn’t get it.
I get it because I’ve lived it. I know what it’s like to fight for everything you have—to push past exhaustion, to keep proving yourself, to carry more than anyone realizes. I’ve been the one juggling a million things at once, refusing to break. Abandoned as a baby, caught in a failed adoption, and left searching for my place in the world, I learned early that survival meant resilience. As a teenager, I made my share of mistakes—running away, dropping out of school, trying to numb the pain. But life didn’t give me the option to stay down.
I put myself through school while raising three kids alone, worked multiple jobs, graduated from the police academy, and earned two master’s degrees—all while navigating life’s challenges, including failed relationships, financial struggles, and the constant pressure to keep it all together. I kept pushing, kept proving myself. That warrior mindset got me through, but it also nearly broke me.
And that’s why I do this work.
I know what it’s like to be the one everyone counts on, to carry the responsibility, to feel like stopping isn’t an option. I work with high-achievers, military, law enforcement, first responders, and professionals because I know their world. I know the pressure, the burnout, the exhaustion that comes from constantly proving your worth. And I know how easy it is to put yourself last—until you have nothing left to give.
Here’s the Truth
You can be strong and still need support. You can carry a heavy load and still deserve rest. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
That’s where I come in. I help people like you figure out how to keep pushing forward without burning out, how to navigate the weight of responsibility without losing yourself in the process.
And I practice what I preach. The gym is my therapy, fast cars and long drives clear my head, and the ocean and the mountains remind me to breathe. I love my work, but I also love spending time with my family—three grown kids, two children-in-love, three military members, two law enforcement officers, and a grandson on the way.
So if you’re here because you’re tired of carrying it all alone, let’s talk. You’ve fought hard to get here—now it’s time to fight for yourself.
Feel like I might be your person? Let’s talk.
What’s Therapy with Me Like?
I’m not your typical, touchy-feely, hand-holding, woo-woo therapist. I’m real, direct, and I’ll call you on your BS—just saying.I work with high achievers, high-adrenaline, high-impact professionals, and those in the public eye because you don’t fit the mold—so neither does my approach. Your world is high stress, high stakes, and high expectations, and that drives me to provide the level of support you actually need.I believe therapy should be…….
Comfortable and Real
Throw Everything You’ve Experienced in Therapy Out the Window
Therapy with me is different—no fluff, no jargon, no masks. Just real talk with someone who gets you. I’m not Frasier Crane, and I’m not going to freak out if you cuss, yell, or cry. Therapy isn’t charm school; it’s a space to be authentic, raw, and real. I want you to feel comfortable enough to do the deep work you need to heal—and I’ll show up just as authentically for you.
Here’s who I am: A NY Yankees-loving, muscle car racing, heavy metal/rock/country fan with a dark sense of humor and a soft spot for first responders, military, and trauma survivors. My law enforcement background and life experiences mean I’ve been there—I get it. That’s why my clients trust me. It’s why a first responder can text me “F@#K!” after missing a session, and I know it means, “Sorry, my bad.” That rapport, that connection—it’s real, and it matters.
I’m not for everyone. If you want someone to do the work for you or let you sit in self-pity, I’m not your therapist. If you’re looking for a hand-holding, woo-woo type, that’s not me either. But if you want someone who will challenge you, push you, and motivate you while being kind, compassionate, and real, you’re in the right place.
Together, we’ll turn adversity into strength.
I’ll help you:
