Therapy for Gamers, Overthinkers, and Busy Inner Worlds

If your brain feels like it’s always running in the background—strategizing, analyzing, looping, and never fully powering down—you’re not broken. I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, and OCD, especially those who spend a lot of time in their inner world and feel exhausted by the mental load of everyday life.

I absolutely love working with gamers—from cozy gaming to competitive play. Many of the people I support are deeply imaginative, systems-oriented thinkers who feel most regulated when they’re immersed in worlds that make sense: skill trees, clear rules, character arcs, and meaningful progression. If you’ve ever felt more capable managing a complex game than managing your own energy, emotions, or expectations, therapy can be a space to translate those strengths into real life.

A lot of my clients carry invisible struggles that others don’t always see—the constant mental effort, emotional labor, and pressure to “push through” no matter how depleted they feel. Many are used to masking, playing a role, or holding themselves to impossibly high standards just to keep up. Over time, that grind can lead to burnout, anxiety, self-doubt, and a harsh inner critic that never seems to log off.

My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe enough to be our full selves—without guilt, shame, or apology. I’m currently training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps us understand the different parts of you as meaningful and protective rather than broken or “wrong.” Instead of trying to eliminate parts of you, we work to understand them, rebalance your internal system, and build more self-trust and flexibility. I also integrate DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to support emotional regulation, boundaries, and sustainable change.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you or forcing productivity—it’s about helping you unmask, step out of survival mode, and create a life that actually feels livable. If you’re tired of navigating mental boss fights you didn’t sign up for or constantly grinding without recovery, you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll work toward a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned—one where you’re not just surviving the game, but actually enjoying it.
