I help marginalized clients who are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism), queer, and/or from immigrant families build their self-esteem and cultivate meaningful relationships. I also support students and working professionals with burnout management and career transitions. Poor boundaries, people-pleasing, and relationship anxiety can come about when you consistently receive the message that your needs are not as important as somebody else's. Although masking your genuine self may have aided you through difficult times, losing touch with who you really are will only bring you farther from what you actually want and need.
Therapy is the time to look beyond the shame and other people’s expectations. Reconnect with your values and internalize a new message that your strength lies in what makes you different. Explore your thoughts and behaviors to break free from the patterns and relationships that no longer serve you.
Reach out and let's learn what it means to be different, not less.

Your history, past relationships, and family dynamics created the person you are today. When you reflect on your self-worth, you may find yourself going back to the responses you received as a child. After understanding the source of your patterns, change can happen when you learn to finally put yourself first.

I mix my therapeutic approaches. SFBT is how we identify your goals and build the routines to reach them; although routines may, at times, seem like your worst enemy, they are a necessary part of learning to live with ADHD and/or autism. Meanwhile, ACT is where we identify your values and align them with your goals, so that you can feel fulfilled by the progress you make.
