There are a few areas of focus that I love supporting clients with; 1). The intersection of the following specific areas, or simply one of these more nuanced areas; people coping with trauma, understanding and managing their neurodivergence, the LGBTQIA+ community, addressing sexual health and intimacy issues, and trans-friendly and knowledgeable healthcare. 2). Everyday client concerns like managing anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges. 3). Healthcare professionals grappling with burnout symptoms or demanding standards associated with their careers. 4). Adult ADHD/ Autism assessments.
There's an assumption that we should already be great at life, despite not generally being taught the skills to be as effective, confident, emotionally stable or as clear-headed as we want to be. I believe that the right therapist can help your unique brain and nervous system learn those skills in a way that is more easeful and works best for you.
I pride myself on using humor, warmth, curiosity and a casual approach to help you understand yourself, work out why you have gotten stuck and create a map with you for getting unstuck. I assist people with busy brains to feel good about where they stand in relation to the world, how they navigate it and how they relate to other people.

I use EMDR for treating trauma symptoms, and variations of EMDR for anxiety and depression, as it is so effective. I am a Neuroaffirming therapist and will support you with many sensory and emotional tips and tricks, as well as helping titrate your environment to your needs so that you can both move away from exhaustion and not loose your 'functionality.'
