I work with adults who may appear to be coping externally but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected internally. Many are navigating ADHD or neurodivergence, identity, queerness, cultural experiences, relationship patterns, burnout, or life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and neuro-affirming, integrating CBT, ACT, IFS parts work, attachment-based therapy, and practical ADHD coaching. Using collaborative intersectional frameworks while maintaining authenticity, empathy and curiosity, we make sense of patterns, reduce shame, and build realistic, sustainable ways of moving forward.
I can support clients navigating ADHD, Autism and executive functioning challenges, late diagnosis, anxiety and emotional regulation, burnout and overwhelm, cultural identity and belonging, relationships and communication (including couples), attachment and relational trauma, shame and perfectionism, queer identity, and life transitions.
I can be as directive or as flexible as you need. Everyone is unique due to their individual life experiences, which means that a cookie-cutter approach won’t cut it for most clients. I want you to thrive – whatever that looks like for you – and will help unlock self-awareness regarding your strengths, relationships and areas of improvement to do this.
